Heart Healthy Sweet Potato Lentil Soup

In this soup, bright orange chunks of sweet potato cook along with healthy aromatics, warm spices and lentils, until tender and creamy. A handful of baby spinach stirs in at the end for a pop of nutritious green. And the finishing touch? Add a gorgeous drizzle of heart healthy extra virgin olive oil. One of the best parts of this soup is that it cooks all in one pot in about 30 minutes.
