Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic - minced
  • 2 medium leeks - finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper - finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 2 ½ cups bone broth* sub veggie broth or regular chicken broth if desired
  • 1 cup coconut milk from canned full fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup dried red lentils
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped Sage
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste + 2 tablespoons water mix them together to form a "slurry" so the miso paste disolves
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • salt to taste I added about ¼ teaspoon extra of salt, miso paste is salty so you may not need any
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or greens of choice

Optional Toppings and sides

  • greek yogurt
  • toasted sourdough or naan

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil to a soup pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and jalapeno and cook for 5 minutes. Add in garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric and ginger. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the spinach. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are cooked through.
  • Turn off heat and fold in spinach. Stir until wilted.
  • Divide out dahl and serve.
