STEP 1: To a large pot or dutch oven, warm up the olive oil, add onion, carrot, celery, and leek, and fry gently for 5 - 10 minutes, stirring often.

STEP 2: While you wait, tie rosemary sprigs, bay leaves, sage, and thyme together with kitchen twine.

STEP 3: Add vegetable stock, water, canned tomatoes, lentils, and herbs. Tie the kitchen twine to the pot's side.

STEP 4: Cook for about 30 minutes or until lentils are cooked. Season with salt and black pepper, stir, partially cover the pot and bring to a simmer.

STEP 5: When lentils are almost cooked, remove the herbs, and blend a small amount of the soup - about 2 cups.

STEP 6: Add the kale, chopped up into bite-size chunks.

STEP 7: Stir and cook for about 10 minutes, until greens are soft.

Serve with some toasted bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, freshly cracked pepper, and optionally grated parmesan cheese or dairy-free cheese.
