    Oh my goodness this soup is AMAZING!  I literally just kind of made it up as I went along.  I couldn't stop myself, I just kept adding more ingredients and it just kept getting better and better!

    I think I have told you before how much I love soups, especially healthy ones.  This one is ridiculously healthy too.  With the kale, lentils and the quinoa, it's packed with protein, fiber and lots of nutrients.

    YUM.

    And it tastes as amazing as it looks...
