A hearty, deeply savory one-pot soup where lentils and rice cook down into something almost porridge-like, then get hit with a blended green sauce of spinach, miso, ginger, and jalapeño. Fast, filling, and surprisingly complex for how little effort it takes.

I think of the song lyric “Satisfy my soul” when I have a bowl of this. So so good
