Curried Brown Lentil Soup With Kale Recipe

There is nothing but goodness in this recipe. Every ingredient is wellness boosting. Lentils are packed with protein, an excellent source of B vitamins and iron, and loaded with dietary fiber. Carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and kale are all nutrient superstars in their own right.

I love creating recipes that make it easy for anyone to whip up a healthy, delicious meal, even if they don’t think they like to cook. Curried Brown Lentil Soup With Kale is a tasty way to eat more plant-based foods and makes a hearty meatless meal. I also love the fact that most of the ingredients are pantry and crisper drawer staples.
