"It really is the best."
  1. Heat oil in a large pot.
  2. Add the carrots and onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the curry powder, cumin, and garlic. Cook 1 minute.
  4. Add the bouillon cube and mash/dissolve it in.
  5. Add the tomato product, lentils, 4 cups of water, the thyme and the salt.
  6. Stir to combine, cover, and bring to a simmer.
  7. Cook, stirring occasionally until the lentils are tender, which will be exactly 22 minutes.
  8. Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach until wilted.
Just as good from frozen as when fresh.

All in all, the original recipe is not too bad except as always, I prefer the "church cookbook style" to the the modern recipe format. In this case, I removed the history of risotto, of rice, and of Italy. Removed photos showing how to pour peas into an Instant Pot. I also removed the social media links and the ads shilling yet another cookbook. Coverted relevant parts to metric and by some miracle, made a 250 word recipe fit on a single printable page!
