Method
Gather your ingredients.
Melt the oil in a large lidded pot, then add the garlic, ginger, onion, spices and seasoning. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes over a medium heat to infuse the oil and allow the onions to soften slightly.
Then add the sweet potato and lentils and sauté for 5 minutes until browned and coated in the spices.
Add the stock and stir, then put the lid on and simmer for 30 minutes until the potato is soft and the lentils are cooked through. Add a little extra water if needed.
The lentils should thicken the mixture slightly.
Add the spinach and coriander for the last 2 minutes of cooking to gently wilt in the heat, then serve.

Delicious. I see why the other review says "worth being ill for" :)
I had some broccoli to use up, so went half and half with the spinach. Also I didn't have any veg stock, so used chicken instead. Next time I will finely grate the ginger, so I can eat it without chewing it. I found the portion size to be large, which is no bad thing, as it is very tasty! Thanks for another nourishing recipe, and it does feel very nourishing.
I used 750ml stock which worked well for my liking.
I cooked it in the Instant pot for 4 mins, then 7 mins slow release. I added the spinach and coriander after to wilt. Absolutely delicious.
Tastes absolutely great but the water content for the stock is far too low. The lentils will expand and soak up all the stock so you’re left with a daal consistency. I added nearly a litre of stock. Otherwise don’t scrimp on the garlic, it really adds to the amazing taste. Each mouthful feels nutritious and good for you
Love it !
This was amazing and actually the amount of spices totally works. As a vegetarian I've been always wanting chicken soup equivalent when ill so this will be it
Really tasty soup, I would say it serves 4…my husband was very sceptical about this due to the amount of garlic but he loved it & went back for seconds!
Does feel medicinal, really quite spicy! I substituted the sweet potato with swede as it's what I had at the time.
Hug in a mug when you feel worse for wear
Loved the warm spicy flavour and packed with healthy veg. Great versatile recipe...swap out...add in! Make it thick and chunky or blend to make a wholesome soup
Delicious! Perfect amount of spice. Would say it served 3/4 unless you had a massive bowl! 😁
Lovely wholesome easy soup
Loved it, almost worth having a cold for. Very comforting and warming. As usual I changed a few minor things to suit my store cupboard, spring greens instead of spinach, but I do that with all recipes.
Wow eating this soup makes you feel it is doing you good! I was scared by the amount of garlic at first but I love it
A comforting delicious and filling dish. Packed with goodies for your optimal health, very easy to make too.
Wonderful recipe. Clean lively flavours. Feels heathy also. I added an extra garlic tooth as no sense to leave it alone out of a whole bulb! Cheers and thank you.
Not sure I’d call it broth..mine was more of a daal. I substituted frozen sweet potatoes and frozen spinach..less prep .But real comfort food. Fabulous to freeze and take to work as lunches. Thank you for this recipe.
Some of the measurements seemed off. Good flavor.
The overall flavor was delicious but next time I will grate the ginger and put the anise, cloves and cardamom pod in a cheesecloth type sack so they can easily be removed at the end. I didn't like biting down on the pods or the chopped ginger pieces
We both loved this soup. Perfect for a cold winter’s day. Please can you advise weight of Ginger, when using fresh Ginger, as the roots come in various sizes. I used 54g for this recipe, which was the right amount to provide a warming ginger flavour.
