The secret to this spicy lentil soup recipe is in the bold aromatics and warm Mediterranean spices. And don’t omit the lime juice; it will brighten the soup and pull the flavors together in the best way possible. Use a bag of frozen spinach, no need to thaw ahead of time. And forthe lentils, I recommend green, black, or small brown lentils.
