Ingredients
Scale
8 cups water or chicken stock
Olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups baby potatoes, halved
1 carrot, sliced how you like it
1/4 cup soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sweet basil
2 cups kale, chopped
1/2 cup French green lentils
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Add 8 cups of water to a slow cooker and set to high.
In a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil, and when it gets hot, add onions and garlic. Let them cook for a few minutes to release the gasses in the onions, then pour them into the slow cooker along with the potatoes and carrots, soy sauce, and dried marjoram, thyme, and sweet basil.
Cook on high for four hours, or low for up to eight hours.
About an hour before you want to serve, add the kale and lentils.
