Instructions

Dice onion and carrot.
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion and carrot for about 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
Meanwhile, mince garlic and dice potato.
Add garlic, potatoes, cumin, and paprika to pot. Stir and sauté 1 minute.
Add broth, diced tomatoes, and lentils (rinsed and drained).
Increase heat and bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
Meanwhile, roughly chop kale, large stems removed.
Stir in the kale during the last few minutes of cooking. Then salt & pepper to taste as desired.

Notes

Make it spicy: Add fire-roasted tomatoes with medium diced chiles, a pinch of cayenne pepper, chipotle, or simply top with your favorite hot sauce.
Vegetables: Expand this soup with zucchini, celery, yellow summer squash, bell pepper, spinach, green beans, peas, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, swiss chard, etc. (You can also change up the spices and seasonings!)
