Instructions
Heat a small amount of vegetable broth in a large pot. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until veggies are softened. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
Add the cauliflower, kale, and the rest of the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in the cooked lentils and season with black pepper and lemon juice. Enjoy!
Notes
Lentils: To cook dried lentils, use a 3:1 liquid to lentil ratio. So for example, if you are cooking 1/2 cup of dried lentils, you would use 1 1/2 cups of water. Lentils get mushy if overcooked with too much water, so be sure to follow this ratio closely.
Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to four days, or freeze up to six months.
