Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup dry red lentils, rinsed and drained
6 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch collard greens - rinsed, stemmed and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons minced garlic
⅓ cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, stir in onion and salt; cook until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in lentils, and cook for 1 minute. Pour in water, then bring to a boil over high heat, then turn heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add collard greens, and cook until wilted, about 10 minutes. When the lentils are tender, stir in the collard greens and season with cumin, cinnamon, and garlic; allow to simmer 10 more minutes. Stir in lemon juice before serving.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. It's so easy to just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it cook all day.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the soup never thickened. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The soup was too thick for my taste. I would add more water next time.

This soup is a little bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a fan of collard greens, but I really liked this soup. The lentils and broth were so flavorful that I didn't even notice the collard greens.
