ingredients
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or any light oil)

directions
- Warm the oil in a large soup pot or dutch oven. Add in the veg, starting with the onion, then celery, then carrot. You can chop and add to the pot as you go.
- Once the onion is nicely cooked and translucent, add the garlic, bay leaves and the herbs/spices, (thyme, sage, paprika, turmeric, fenugreek if using). Saute a few minutes.
- Add in the lentils and rice, leave for a few more minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. After a few minutes, add in the broth and water. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat. Leave to simmer for about 30 minutes.
- By now the rice and lentils should be close to done, add in the soy, vinegar and kale. Cook for another 15 minutes or so. Adjust seasoning to taste.
