Lentil Soup Crock Pot

Lentil Soup

Ingredients:

3 carrots, chopped
3 ribs of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, pressed
8 cups water or vegetable broth
2 cups lentils, rinsed
1 tsp. dried thyme
1-14 oz can diced tomatoes (opt)
(Note: If you want some more "bulk" to your soup you can also throw in some cubed potatoes now too.)

Directions Put all of these ingredients in the slow cooker. Set it on low if you are leaving it all day, high if you are starting it around lunchtime.

About 10 minutes before you are ready to serve the soup, add:
1 ½ tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 bunch of kale, washed and chopped

We also like to top ours with crumbled feta cheese. Yummy. :) We serve this meal with pita bread and a Mediterranean salad.
