Traditional Lentil Soup
  1. Chop the onions, bell pepper, celery, garlic, and carrots.

  2. Set a large 6-8 quart soup pot over medium heat. Add olive oil to the pot. Then stir in the onions, peppers, celery, and garlic. Sauté the aromatics for 5 minutes to soften.

  3. Then add the green lentils, sliced carrots, vegetable broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and cumin.

  4. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Once the lentils are soft and the stew has had time to thicken, stir in the chopped kale and vinegar. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed.

  6. Serve warm as-is or garnished with chopped scallions and hot sauce.
