Lemon Lentil Soup

This recipe was shared by my good friend Lindsay (a.k.a. lil'Linds, Mesch). Enjoy!

1 Onion, diced
2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1 1/2 C. Dry Red Lentils
6 C. Vegetable Stock
2 tbsp. Lemon Juice
2 C. Kale or Spinach, chopped
2 tbsp. Fresh Parsley or Cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 tsp. Red Pepper Flake
1 tsp. Cumin

In a large pot, sauté onion and garlic. Add red pepper flake and cumin and toast for ~1/2 a minute, stirring constantly. Add stock and lentils and bring to a boil for one minute and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, covered for 30 minutes until soup starts to thicken and lentils are tender. Stir in lemon juice and kale/spinach, cover and let simmer for 5 more minutes, or so. Serve sprinkled with parsley/cilantro.
