Soup is one of our favorite on-the-go meals. Whether you spoon it out of a bowl or slurp it out of a cup, use the right ingredients and you'll have a hearty, healthy dish that's perfect for lunch or dinner, wherever you happen to be eating it!
Ingredients:
Makes 6 servings.
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 leeks (white and light green parts), cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch kale, thick stems removed and leaves cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
½ cup brown lentils
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Preparation:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes and cook, breaking them up with a spoon, for 5 minutes.
3. Add 6 cups water and bring to a boil. Stir in the sweet potatoes, kale, lentils, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
