Steps:
- Place split peas in a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak for 1 hour.
- Combine drained split peas, yams, onions, and red lentils in a large pot. Pour in enough water to cover by 1 inch. Stir in garlic and ginger. Bring to a boil; skim foam off the top with a slotted spoon. Simmer until yams are very tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Mash split peas, yams, and lentils with a potato masher. Stir peanut butter, lemon juice, and soy sauce into the soup. Add chickpeas and frozen spinach; cook until warmed through, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt.
