Here is how you make Red Lentil Soup with Kale and Fresh Herbs:

Heat the oil in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, and stir until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and lower the heat a little so it does not burn. Stir for one minute or so, until fragrant and soft. Add lentils, broth, salt-free seasoning, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, and stir. Cover, and lower the heat to a simmer until the lentils are soft, about 20 minutes.Puree the soup with a stick blender (my favorite kitchen tool!) or in a blender or food processor in batches, until it is creamy and thick. Return it to the pot, and add the kale.Return the soup to a low simmer and cook until kale is soft and dark, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add dill and parsley, and then taste soup for seasonings. Serve with a twist of lemon and some whole-grain pita bread. Delicious! Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GOZERIFIC.
