Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 yellow onion
• 3 carrots
• 3 celery stalks
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoon salt , plus more to taste
• 1 cup red lentils
• 1/2 cup dry quinoa
• 5 cups water
• 26.5 oz box of chopped tomatoes
2 cups chopped kale

Steps:

Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat
sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until tender, about 8 minutes.
Add in the minced garlic and sauté another minute, just until fragrant.
Add in the cumin, ginger, turmeric, salt, lentils, quinoa, water, and tomatoes and bring the soup to a boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat and cover the pot to let everything simmer until the lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
Once the lentils and vegetables are very tender, stir in the chopped kale and cook until it's wilted, just a few minutes.
Season with additional salt, if desired, (I added a 1/2 teaspoon myself) and serve warm.
