Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 carrots, medium, chopped
  • 1/2 onion (about 1/2 cup), medium, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 cans (15 ounces each) chicken or vegetable broth, reduced-sodium
  • 1 potato (8 ounces), large, peeled, cut in 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup lentils, dry
  • 4 cups kale, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup Herbed Walnuts or 1/2 cup Walnut Gremolata

PREPARATION

  1. Heat oil in a medium stock pot. Add celery, carrots, onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add broth, potato and lentils. Cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally until potatoes and lentils are tender.
