Spinach-and-Cilantro Soup With Tahini and Lemon image

The simplicity of this soup's technique belies its depth of flavor, which is both vivid and complex. The soup is made bright with lemon and fresh with cilantro, but the secret ingredient is tahini, which is layered into the soup to thicken it, and then drizzled generously on top in the form of a gently spiced sauce. The result is a soup that's both vegetal and creamy, tangy and rich. You'll find it so tasty that you'll forget you're drinking your vegetables.
