Curried Lentil Soup With Spinach image

One of my favorite soups. It's tasty and easy to make. From Williams-Sonoma Collection "Healthy First Courses": For a vegetarian version, replace beef stock with vegetable stock. For a creamier soup, puree half of it in a food processor or blender and stir back into the pot.
