Lentil Soup with Butternut and Kale is comforting and nutrient-dense, thanks to the butternut squash, lentils, kale, and leeks.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
2 leeks, white part only, cleaned and chopped
1 celery stalk, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6 cups vegetable broth
1 pound peeled and diced butternut, 1/2-inch dice
2 ounces green lentils, (1/3 cup)
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
black pepper
3 cups packed chopped lacinato kale, stems removed
INSTRUCTIONS

Add the tomato paste and cook 2 minutes, stirring.
Add the broth, bay leaf and lentils and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until halfway cooked, 20 minutes.
