Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrot, chopped and peeled
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp curry powder ( preferably madras-style)
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp dry crushed red pepper
9 1/2 cups water (or more )
1 (16 oz) bag dried lentils (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 (6 oz) bag baby spinach leaves

Directions:

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
Add next 4 ingredients; sauté until golden, about 10 minutes.
Stir in curry powder, ginger, cumin, bay leaf, and dried crushed red pepper.
Add 9 1/2 cups water and dried lentils; bring to boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until lentils are tender, adding more water by 1/2 cupfuls to thin soup, if desired, about 25 minutes.
