- Add carrots and onions and saute for 2 minutes. Then add garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth and tomatoes. Add in lentils, basil, oregano, thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in zucchini and kale and simmer for 10 more minutes. If using spinach wait to add it until the last 2 minutes.
