Love, love, love this dish! I omitted the carrots and added extra cumin and paprika. Instead of chicken broth, I used plain water. To finish the dish off, I sauteed half an onion in a little oil, added cumin seeds and red chili pepper flakes, and added this oil mixture to the stew. Perfection :)

I was skeptical but wanted to make something healthier than the (vegan) cream-based soups and I had both lentils and kale in the house. Wow, this was really easy to make and delicious, to boot. Total convert...definitely a keeper.

This was an awesome recipe! I also added smoked paprika and one vegetable bouillon cube (because I didn't have any broth) which really kicked up the flavor. If you add the cube, you don't really need any salt!

This is flavorful and yummy and hearty. Like an earlier person said, I added more cumin :)

We are always looking for new ways to work leafy greens into our diet. If you like lentils, you'll like this recipe. From past experience with lentil recipes, we used a mix of vegetable broth and water and go heavy on the spices. Outstanding!
