Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
8 cups vegetable broth
2-3 cups kale destemmed, roughly chopped
½ cup parsley, roughly chopped
Preparation
In a large pot, heat olive over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add the green lentils, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper and cook with the vegetables to lightly toast the lentils, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat and then simmer on low for 30 minutes until the lentils are cooked and the broth thickens.
Stir in the kale and parsley and continue to simmer until they wilt, about 2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
