| PREPARATION: |
PREPARATION:
Heat oil in the large sauce pan.
Add the onion and carrots, saute
until tender, appx 10 minutes. Add
the garlic and saute until
fragrant, a few minutes. Add the
stock, lentils, ham, ham bone,
oregano, bay leaf and thyme.
Simmer, covered on low heat for
about an hour until lentils are
soft. Remove from heat and stir in
the kale. Let sit covered for
about 5 minutes.
HINTS: If you are not
familiar with using Kale, remove
the large stalks then break the
leaves into bite size pieces. If
the soup is too thick, add a
little more chicken stock to
desired consistency. |
