  • Add in the dry or soaked (see below) lentils, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Once the lentils are cooked through, add in the coconut milk. Stir well to mix, then add in the kale. Stir again until the kale is wilted. Turn off the heat. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!

Soaking Lentils
Reduce digestive problems by simply soaking the lentils in filtered water – up to 7 hours will do it.

Leftovers
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to four days. Freeze for up to two months.

Additional Toppings
Top soup with chopped cilantro, sliced almonds and/or a dollop of coconut yogurt.
