I've been on a quest to help my Aunt Linda with eating heathier foods and I thought lentil soup would make a great start. Especially when adding kale which is loaded with nutrients. What I could get organic I did. In addition to that, I chose the sweet potato instead of a white potato because it has a better gylcemic index and more nutritious. The addition of fresh lemon juice, garlic and toasted fennel really add another layer of flavors to this soup. Hope you enjoy.
