Directions: |
Directions:Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the bacon is cooked, remove and place on a paper towel. Remove all but 1-2 teaspoons of bacon grease from the pan then add the onion, carrots, and celery then sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, cumin, and crushed red pepper; stir and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lentils and bay leaf, stir then cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the bay leaf then blend the soup for 30 seconds with an immersion blender, to make the soup a bit thicker; make sure you don't blend too long. Add the fresh chopped kale to the soup and simmer for 5 minutes then serve. Enjoy. |
