Creamy Turmeric Lentil Soup

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or try coconut oil to enhance the coconut flavor)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 carrots, peeled and diced
• 3 stalks of celery, diced
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons turmeric
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup lentils (whichever color you prefer)
• 4 cups broth (homemade vegetable broth is preferred, but if you’re not vegetarian, you can use chicken or fish broth for different flavors. Beef stock is likely too heavy for this recipe.)
• 2 cups spinach, kale, or greens of choice
• 1 14 oz can coconut cream
