Make it a day ahead if you can—this easy slow cooker/crock pot recipe variation makes it a cinch to get the soup cooking while you do other things.” ## Ingredients - - 2 cups chopped onions - 2 cups chopped carrots - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil - 1 teaspoon ground cumin - 1 teaspoon ground coriander - 1 teaspoon ground turmeric - ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon - ¼ teaspoon ground pepper - 6 cups vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth - 2 cups water - 3 cups chopped cauliflower - 1¾ cups lentils - 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes - 2 tablespoons tomato paste - 4 cups chopped fresh spinach or one 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed - ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons lemon juice ## Directions - 1Combine onions, carrots, garlic, oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon and pepper in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add broth, water, cauliflower, lentils, tomatoes and tomato paste and stir until well combined. - 2Cover and cook until the lentils are tender, 4 to 5 hours on High or 8 to 10 hours on Low. - 3During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in spinach. Just before serving, stir in cilantro and lemon juice. - Make Ahead Tip: Stir in spinach (Step 3), cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months. Stir in cilantro and lemon juice just before serving. - Equipment: 5- to 6-quart slow cooker - For easy cleanup, try a slow-cooker liner. These heat-resistant, disposable liners fit neatly inside the insert and help prevent food from sticking to the bottom and sides of your slow cooker.
