Instructions
Bring a soup pot to medium heat with a glug of extra virgin olive oil. Add in the diced/minced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until onions are softened.
Then, add in the minced garlic and chopped kale greens, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, or until garlic is fragrant. Be sure not to let the garlic brown - it will change the flavor of the soup.
After, add in the vegetable stock, diced tomatoes, lemon juice, and spices. Mix well.
Simmer everything for about 15 minutes, so the flavors can really meld.
When done, serve in bowls with black or French lentils.
