I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this soup. The spinach flavor is very mild, and it's balanced out by the other ingredients in the soup.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I had some lentils leftover from a different recipe, and I decided to make this soup. It turned out so well! The soup is thick and creamy, and the flavors are very well-balanced.

This soup was easy to make and very delicious. I used canned lentils to save time, and the soup still turned out great. I served it with a side of crusty bread.
