Test Kitchen Tips

Use any variety of kale in this soup, such as the readily available curly, or the Lacinato variety with smoother leaves, also called Tuscan or dinosaur.

Known as a pulse, this dried seed has the second highest ratio of protein per calorie of any legume. They also contain a good amount of iron and phosphorus and a fair amount of calcium and vitamins A and B.

Instructions

Combine lentils, onions, carrots, cauliflower, and garlic in a 4- to 6-qt. slow cooker.

Add stock and tomatoes, then stir in cumin, coriander, and thyme. Cover slow cooker and cook soup on high setting until lentils are tender, 4 hours.

Stir in kale until wilted and season soup with salt and pepper.
