Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
3 cups fresh or frozen chopped onion, carrot and celery mix
-
4 cloves garlic, chopped
-
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
-
1 ½ cups green or brown lentils
-
1 (15-ounce) can unsalted diced tomatoes, undrained
-
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
Parmesan rind (optional)
-
3 cups packed roughly chopped lacinato kale
-
1 ½ tablespoons red-wine vinegar
-
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Directions
-
Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery mix; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Stir in broth, lentils, tomatoes, thyme, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and Parmesan rind, if using. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are almost tender, 15 to 25 minutes, adding water as needed to thin to desired consistency.
-
Stir in kale. Cook, covered, until the kale is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard the Parmesan rind, if using. Stir in vinegar. Divide the soup among 6 bowls; sprinkle with Parmesan. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
