    Looks good! Lentil soup is my favorite way to use up leftover thanksgiving turkey. I make a recipe a lot like this and throw the turkey in near the end.

    I make Lentil soup pretty much the same way (minus the spinach, but that sounds super good), but after it's all done and I turn the heat off, I stir in 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Gives it such a yummy kick! (I'd sub the Dijon in place of the vinegar)
