Ingredients
3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil 2 cup chopped onions 1 cup chopped celery stalks 1 cup chopped carrots 2 garlic cloves, chopped 4 cups (or more)chicken broth 1 1/4 cups lentils, rinsed, drained 1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice 2 cups chopped kale Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Directions
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, carrots, and garlic; sauté until vegetables begin to brown, about 15 minutes.

Transfer 2 cups soup (mostly solids) to blender and puree until smooth. Return puree to soup in pan; add steamed chopped kale; thin soup with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if too thick. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of vinegar, if desired. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with celery leaves.
