2 tsp. OWOC Tuscan Herb EVOO

1 small onion, chopped

1 large carrot, peeled and chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

12 cups chicken broth, plus more as needed

16 oz. green lentils

Heat the EVOO in a six-quart soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the carrot, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are softened, about five minutes. Add 12 cups of the broth, the lentils, basil, thyme, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, add the kale, and cook until the lentils are tender, 30-35 minutes, adding more broth if necessary. Stir in the balsamic, lemon juice and zest, and serve.
