Steps:

Place lentils in a fine mesh colander and rinse under cold running water to remove any dirt and debris. Pick through to make sure there aren't any little stones and discard any shriveled lentils.
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Stir in onions, celery, and leeks and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes.
Toss in the garlic and for another minute or two.
Add the lentils, kale, potatoes, carrots, canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, water and seasoning.
Bring to a boil, then cover, and let simmer on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes or until lentils are tender and vegetables are just fork tender.
