Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 2 celery sticks, diced
- 3–4 potatoes, diced
- 4–5 garlic cloves, diced
- 300 g red split lentils
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 litres vegetable stock
- 3 fresh lemons
- Chopped cavolo nero or kale
Instructions
- Step: In a heavy-bottom pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and fry the onions for a couple of minutes until they soften a bit. Add the carrots and celery and fry everything for 5-6 minutes.
- Step: Add the garlic and give it a good stir, then add the curry powder, ground cumin and paprika. Stir the veggies well and continue to cook for another minute.
- Step: Stir in the red lentils, then add the potatoes and the stock. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook, covered with a lid, for 20 minutes until the lentils are cooked and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Step: Add the shredded kale to the pot, give it another stir, and cook for 5 more minutes with the lid on until the kale is wilted. Stir in the lemon juice and season with freshly ground black pepper.
Notes
You can add more stock if you want to adjust the thickness of the soup. The kale can be substituted with other greens such as collard greens, Swiss chard, or spinach. If you don’t want your soup to be too lemony, add the juice of a single lemon and adjust to taste. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
