Spinach, Lentils, and Quinoa Soup

Spinach, lentil and quinoa soupThis soup is quite easy to make, good on the palette and full of nutrients. It uses very simple ingredients and totally customizable. Start with the following ingredients.Spinach, lentil, quinoa and almond soupI used pre-washed baby spinach, but you can use bunch spinach if you want. Make sure to wash it thoroughly. I used split moong and gram bean lentils. (Moon daal and Chana daal in hindi). Wash both the lentils thoroughly in running water.Spinach, lentil and quinoa soupI cooked the soup in a pressure cooker, because it takes way less time than cooking in an open pot. It is just a personal choice. Put the washed up lentils with 4 times water in the pot/cooker. Use more water if cooking in an open pot.Spinach, lentil and quinoa soupAdd the Spinach.Spinach, lentil and quinoa soup
