Warm olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven oven medium heat. Once hot, add onion and sauté for 3 minutes.
Add carrots, parsnips, and celery and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add garlic, turmeric, and ginger and sauté for 1 minute.
Add broth, water, lentils, salt and several grinds of black pepper. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in kale, parsley, and lemon juice. Cover and let greens steam for a few minutes. Season to taste (I did another ¼ tsp salt) and enjoy!
