Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 2 celery ribs chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups dried green lentils
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2-3 cups kale destemmed and roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent, typically taking about 3-5 minutes.
  • Mix in minced garlic, chopped carrots, and celery to the pot, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

  • Combine green lentils, cumin, coriander, kosher salt, and black pepper with the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes to lightly toast the lentils, enhancing their flavor.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. The lentils should be tender, and the broth slightly thickened.
