Step 1

Heat a large stock pot over medium high heat. Add oil, a pinch of salt and onions. Sauté until onions are translucent and have made your kitchen smell like heaven.

Step 2

Add carrots, celery and sweet potatoes. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and all the spices (turmeric, coriander, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon) and let em toast for about 30 seconds. If you notice they are a bit dry add a dash of the veggie stock to prevent burning.

Step 3

Add lentils and toast them for a minute more. Next, add in your stock. Stir well

Step 4

Cover and let cook for 20-25 minutes on medium low heat. Check the lentils after 20 minutes to insure they aren’t crunchy or too well done because some lentils cook faster than others.

Step 5

The last 5 minutes add the beans, kale, and lemon. This is a great time to check for salt and pepper! If you like it spicy, add more cayenne or some chili flakes, I know I do!

Step 6

Cook everything for 2-3 minutes more and serve! Store in mason jars for the perfect meal prep or lunch to take to work. Enjoy.
