Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 20 min | Serves: 4
Lentil & Tomato Soup
+ 1 tbsp olive oil
+ 1 onion, chopped
+ 3 garlic cloves, minced
+ 1 fresh rosemary sprig
+ 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika
+ 1 cup red lentils

+ 5 cups homemade vegetable stock

To make the soup: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Then add garlic, rosemary, paprika, and lentils, and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in tomatoes and stock, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes until the lentils are tender. Season to taste with sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
To make the kale chips: Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Tear kale leaves into bite-size pieces, then wash and dry thoroughly. Drizzle kale with olive oil, spread out leaves over a large baking tray, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp.
Serve soup in bowls topped with crispy kale and enjoy!
