Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes.
- Add celery and carrot. Cook for 7 - 10 minutes or until softened and the onion is sweet. Don't rush this step, it is key to the flavour base of the soup.
- Add all remaining ingredients except the lemon and salt. Stir.
- Increase heat and bring to simmer. Scoop scum on the surface off and discard (do this again during cooking if required). Place lid on and turn heat down to medium low. Simmer for 35 - 40 minutes or until lentils are soft.
- Remove bay leaves.
- Thicken Soup: Using a stick blender, do 2 or 3 quick whizzes to thicken the soup (see video below). Or transfer 2 cups to a blender, let it cool slightly, then hold lid with tea towel and blend then transfer back into pot.
- Add a touch of water if you want to adjust soup consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Grate over the zest of the lemon then add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve with warm crusty bread slathered liberally with butter!

I cook with lentils often because they're a nutritious, inexpensive source of protein. This low-fat soup is one of my favorite ways to use them. To make it even heartier, add ground beef, cooked sausage or leftover cubed chicken. -Rachel Keller, Roanoke, Virginia

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add in the diced onions, carrots, and celery, and saute for about 8-10 minutes until onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and saute for a couple of minutes. Keep an eye on the garlic and stir as it will brown quickly (1-2 minutes is enough to cook up the garlic).
- Add in the lentils and stir, combining it with the soffritto mixture (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the tomatoes and use a wooden spoon to break them up and combine them with the lentils (if using canned plum tomatoes, break them up before adding, and remove the tough white core). Let this simmer together for a few minutes and season with salt (and pepper, if you're using). If you're not using a low sodium broth, wait to add salt until after you add your broth.
- Next, add in the broth and bay leaf.
- Bring to a boil for a few minutes and then lower the heat to a simmer.
- Check the seasoning and add more salt (if needed)and pepper and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Stir in kale during last 10 minutes of cooking. You just want the kale to be wilted, but cook it more if you don't mind it on softer side.
- If soup is thickening too much, add a bit of water (start out with 1/4 cup and check how consistency is). The lentils will thicken up as they cook.
- When ready to serve, remove the bay leaf.
- Ladle into serving bowls and drizzle on some olive oil.
- Add in red pepper flakes, if using.
- SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS:
- Add the first 12 ingredients (through the salt + pepper) to a large 6-quart slow cooker, and stir to combine.
- Cook for 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low, until the lentils are tender and cooked through.
- Stir in the kale during the last hour of cooking.
- Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaves.
- Serve warm, garnished with optional toppings if desired.

ITALIAN LENTIL SOUP
I wanted to make something substantial involving lentils... and this was truly delicious and colorful. My steak-and- potatoes-lovin' husband thought it was great, and he didn't even complain that it didn't have actual meat in it. Garnish with grated Romano or Parmesan cheese and serve with a nice crusty homemade bread.

- Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Wash and finely chop the celery and carrots. Wash and chop the rosemary leaves. Rinse the lentils under running water to remove any impurities (like stones). Umbrian lentils don't need pre-soaking. If you use another kind, check the packet to see if you have to soak them first. Small lentils are better. Red lentils not so good as they get mushy.
- Saute the onion, carrots and celery with the olive oil in a deep heavy pan or Dutch oven (I used my Dutch oven). When the veggies start to soften add the garlic, rosemary and tomato concentrate. Mix everything together. Let it cook for another minute and then add the lentils and cover with warm water and vegetable stock. (I used half and half). Let the soup simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
- Add salt to taste and then add the pasta. Continue cooking until the pasta is ready. Stir every now and again to prevent sticking. Serve with a little olive oil and ground black pepper as required.
