people

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced (about 1/2 a cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 15 oz cans chicken broth, or vegetable; reduced-sodium
  • 1 large potato, peeled, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup lentils, dry
  • 4 cups kale, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup Herbed Walnuts, or 1/2 cup Walnut Gremolata

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a medium stock pot. Add celery, carrots, onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add broth, potato and lentils. Cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes and lentils are tender.
  • With a spoon or potato masher, press potatoes and lentils to make a slightly thickened soup. Stir in kale and cook 5-10 minutes until tender. Top with walnuts just before serving.
