Wishing everyone a “Happy New Year”. Kickstarting new year with a healthy and filling soup made with potatoes, lentils and kale. If you are not a kale lover or do not like kale on its own, try it in a soup like this. You could even add spinach instead of kale, but add it at the end since spinach just takes a minute or two to cook.
We paired the soup with some rustic Italian bread, but you can have just the soup since it is filling with the potatoes and lentils. I like such recipes that do not need babysitting and stirring. The soup can be customized to taste by adding different vegetables and so on. Off to the recipe.
