Ingredients

Kale (1 bunch, stem removed and chopped)
Green lentils (1 cup, rinsed)
Celery (2 stalks, diced)
Carrots (2, peeled and diced)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Onion (1 large, chopped)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Vegetable broth (4 cups)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables soften and the onions turn translucent.
Rinse the green lentils under cold water and add them to the pot.
Pour in the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to bring the mix to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the lentils become tender.
Add the chopped kale to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, until the kale wilts down into the soup.
Season the soup with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Serve the soup hot. Enjoy it as is, or pair it with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
