Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes to the pot.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  6. Stir in the chopped kale. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until the kale is wilted but still bright green.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to your taste.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the warmth!

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth if you prefer.
  • For a richer flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end.
  • If you like a thicker soup, mash a portion of the lentils against the side of the pot before adding the kale.
