Easy Lentil Soup

This Easy Lentil Soup is loaded with delicious spices and very simple to put together. It tastes wonderful alone or as a side dish!

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, diced
4 stalks celery, diced
1 large carrot or two medium size carrots, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
26 ounces/737g fresh tomatoes, chopped – you can always use a 28oz can diced tomatoes and drain the liquid
1 cup (7.1 ounces/200g) brown lentils, picked over, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon garam masala
salt & pepper to taste (I use 3/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper)
6 cups vegetable broth
2-3 sprigs thyme, to be removed at the end
1 cup kale, roughly chopped
Juice of two limes, about 2 tablespoons, squeezed over
