Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add Spices: Stir in cumin, turmeric, paprika, and coriander. Cook for 30 seconds more.
Add Lentils and Broth: Add lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20-30 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Add Butter Beans and Spinach: Stir in butter beans and spinach. Cook for a few more minutes until spinach is wilted.
Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.

Tips:
For a creamier soup, you can use an immersion blender to puree a portion of the soup.
You can also add other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or kale to the soup.
If you want a heartier soup, you can add cooked grains like brown rice or quinoa.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious lentil soup!
