Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
l large onion, diced
-
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and diced
-
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
-
3 medium turnips, peeled and diced
-
Salt and ground black pepper
-
1 pound brown lentils, rinsed
-
2 teaspoons dried thyme
-
2 1/2 ounces Veggie Stock Gold® dissolved in 8 cups hot water

Methods/Steps
Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it softens, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the carrots, squash, and turnips, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to brown, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the lentils and the thyme, then add the reconstituted Veggie Stock Gold® and the kale. Bring the soup to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover the pot, leaving a small opening on one side. Simmer until the lentils and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
