1
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, and parsnips and cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes until vegetables are soft and onions are translucent.
2
Add bay leaf, oregano, cumin, chili flakes and garlic to the pot and cook for another minute. Add wine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
3
Add rinsed lentils to the pot along with potato, tomatoes and stock.
4
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and allow the soup to simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. Add water, as necessary, 1/2 cup at a time if needed but a thicker consistency is best.

Near the end of the cooking time, add spinach to the pot and stir in. Cover soup for the remaining 1-3 minutes.

Taste for seasoning and add in salt and cracked black pepper, to taste. Garnish with hot sauce of your choice if desired.
