Tuscan Lentil &amp; Kale Soup

onion

garlic

artichoke hearts

Tuscan kale (also labeled as Lacinato, dinosaur kale

olive oil

oregano

basil

red lentils

water

bay leaf

red pepper flakes

salt

fire roasted whole tomatoes

Parmesan cheese (optional),

Dice the onion. Mince the garlic. Drain the artichoke hearts, and chop them into bite sized pieces. Wash and thinly slice the kale into ribbons.

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the onion for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried basil. Saute for another minute.

Add the red lentils, water, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and 1 bay leaf and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and add the kale, artichokes, and the liquid from the whole tomatoes. Then chop the whole tomatoes into bite sized pieces, and add them to the pot.

Simmer for 20 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Be careful not to overcook the lentils, or they will become too soft.

Taste, and additional kosher salt as necessary. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and shaved Parmesan cheese.

This is the first recipe I've made off your site (previously used your pizza posts for inspiration) and it was absolutely lovely. I even made it with kale I had previously chopped and frozen and it was still perfect. My partner and I are not vegetarian but are moving towards a predominantly veggie diet and recipes like this make it so easy! Loved the artichoke flavor and how tomato-y it was! Will definitely make it again.

Long time follower here but rare commenter - just had to share that I made this over the weekend after finding a can of artichokes in the bottom of the pantry. Based on other reviewer comments I cut down the tomatoes to just one 28oz can and it was superb! I made your pretty simple popovers as well, and fed this to both my husband and brother who looked at each other and in surprise my husband goes, “huh, this tastes better than I was expecting!” Huge win! And then he ate 6 popovers....maybe effectively canceling out the lentils? Haha I’ll still take it :) thank you guys!

Made this tonight and it was SUCH a hit for the whole family! My 4 year old ate his whole bowl (not always the case with new recipes!) and so did my husband- huge win!
