Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped (1 1/3 cups)
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (3/4 cup)
12 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, half finely chopped, half cut into 1/4-inch slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 cups brown lentils (10 ounces)
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
1 bunch lacinato kale, ribs removed, cut into 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add onion, carrots, and chopped mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until soft, 6 minutes. Add chili powder and tomato paste; cook 30 seconds. Stir in lentils and 6 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Stir in vinegar.
  • Meanwhile, toss sliced mushrooms with 1 tablespoon oil, and kale with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread mushrooms on one side of a rimmed baking sheet; roast 10 minutes. Flip. Add kale to other side; roast until both are crisp, about 8 minutes more. Serve soup topped with kale and mushrooms, and drizzled with more oil.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the lentils were not cooked through. I would not recommend this soup.
