In The spirit of 'what i did with my share,' I'd like to kick-off the posts with this soup that I made. It's a kale and lentil soup that uses three of the items we received in our share, and it only takes about twenty minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb green lentils
- 1 bunch kale
- a few carrots
- handful of parsley
- garlic scapes
- chicken stock or water
Preparation
Wash the kale and steam it in a 6-quart pot. After it softens, remove it and place on a cutting board to cool. There should be about a cup and a half of colorful kale broth remaining in the pot. To this, add the lentils and the carrots, diced. Add enough additional water and/or chicken stock to cover the lentils and carrots, and simmer until they are soft. Meanwhile, coarsely chop the kale and and parsley. Chop the scapes into 1/4" lengths- I put in about half a handful. Remember, soup is very forgiving when it comes to the amounts of ingredients.
Toss in the kale, parsley and scapes, and cook for a few additional minutes, adding more liquid if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
