Instructions
  1. In a soup pot, saute onion, celery, and carrots in the coconut oil for about 5 minutes. Add the spices and saute another 5 minutes. Add lentils or split peas, broth or water, kombu, coconut milk, and tomatoes. Let it come to a boil, reduce the heat, and let simmer on low heat with a lid on for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste for salt and lime or lemon juice.
  2. Before serving, add the spinach (if using), and let it wilt in the soup. Garnish with cashews and cilantro.
Recipe Notes

*You can soak the split peas or lentils in 6 cups filtered water for 8 to 12 hours to enhance the nutritional profile and improve digestability.
