#### Directions:
1. **Sauté the Aromatics:**
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
2. **Add the Vegetables:**
Add the cauliflower, zucchini, bell pepper, and spinach (or kale) to the pot. Stir well to combine, and cook for another 5 minutes.
3. **Season the Soup:**
Sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir the spices into the vegetables, allowing them to become fragrant and evenly distributed.
4. **Add the Beans and Broth:**
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the kidney beans or lentils. Stir to combine. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
5. **Taste and Adjust:**
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If desired, add a splash of fresh lemon juice for a burst of brightness.
6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Garnish with fresh herbs or a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
