Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard it.

If using, stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
