Lentil Soup

The Ingredients

1 cup lentils
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
1/2 bundle of kale
1 cup raw spinach
2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 tbsp olive oil
black pepper

First, soak your lentils overnight in a bowl of cold water. Make sure they are fully covered and some. In a crock pot, Add 2 cups of vegetable stock, 4 cups of water, lentils, and remaining ingredients. Take note that salt may not be needed depending on the type/amount of vegetable stock used. Olive oil brings out vegetable and earthy flavors, which is delicious! Cover crock pot and cook slowly for 8 hours.
