Lentil and Kale Soup

Perfect for a snowy day!

Ingredients

• 1 hamhock
• 2 medium onions
• 2 carrots
• 10 cloves of garlic
• 1.5 cups lentils (or dried peas)
• 1.5 cups frozen kale
• Oil for cooking

Method

In a large soup pot on medium-heat, heat your oil and then add in the garlic, oil, and carrots. (You can also add celery, but I'm not a fan of celery, so I left it out.) Cook the vegetables until the onions are translucent. Place the ham hock in the pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 4 hours, or until the liquid is properly infused with flavor. Remove the ham hock and cut off the meat into bite size pieces. Add in the lentils to the soup pot and cook until tender. When the lentils are completely cooked through, add in the frozen kale and ham hock pieces and cook until just warmed through. Serve and enjoy!
