Lentil Soup with Kale

  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 2 small onions, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 carrots, diced small
  • 2 ribs celery, diced small
  • 2 C butternut squash, diced small
  • 2 Tbs Madras curry powder
  • 3 C lentils, rinsed
  • 2 C canned tomatoes, diced
  • 1 lb fresh kale, stems removed and cut into bite-sized strips
In a large, heavy bottomed soup pot or dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, and butternut squash. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the onions begin to turn translucent. Add the curry powder and sauté for another 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lentils and tomatoes and enough water to cover by 2-3 inches. Bring soup to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Add the kale. Cook for about an hour, or until the lentils begin to break down and the soup thickens. Depending on your lentils, it may be necessary to add more water. Season again before serving. 
6-8 servings
