I know what you’re all thinking: “It’s way too hot out to even think about making soup!” Well, yes, this is true. Nevertheless, I decided to take the risk and wear white after Labor Day…or whatever…never mind. The point is, lentils are good for you. So good for you in fact, that you should make this soup in spite of the ungodly readings on the thermostat. High in iron and packed with protein, this recipe is the spinach for all your Popeye needs this spring. But that’s not all me hardies! Kale’s and carrot’s copious amounts of vitamin A will not only help you recover from that sunburn, but also make certain your vision is sharp enough for you to keep wearing those Ray-Bans at night. Last but not least, kale is swimming with vitamin C, just the thing to keep that nasty scurvy at bay while you and your mates travel the seven seas….or at least navigate your way properly though your recipe’s robot/pirate/hipster themes….Who needs some more aloe?
