kale, lentil, kitchen sink soup

So I have to share a recipe for soup. For those of you who get actual summers this may seem strange but if you know Northern California summers I'm sure your feel'n me. I loosely based it off a recipe I found online but I'm bad at following recipes so it was more of an inspiration.
Shopping list:
olive oil
1 small onion
1 bunch of kale
2-3 carrots
1 zucchini
2 cloves of garlic
1 large container of veg or chicken stock, I used free range to be kind to the chicks
about a pound of lentils, I used a variety, yellow and green I think
1 ear of corn, just cuz I had it and I'm so glad I did, made a big difference
thyme
salt/pepper
1 container of plain low fat Greek yogurt, for a garnish

So really you can use any veggies, I just happen to have a lot of these on hand.

What really gussy'd my feathers about the original recipe was the use of the ribs of the kale leaves, I've always thrown them out but in this recipe you actually sauteed them right along side the onions..Genius!

ok ok here's your plan...

chop up your onion and ribs of the kale saute them in the olive oil until soft, add the carrots and garlic..salt and pep as you go. Then add the zuc's and whatever else you have on hand, for a quick saute. Roughly chop up the kale leaves add it to the mix, cover with the stock and enough water to cover all the veggies throw in the lentils and thyme, bring to a boil, then to a simmer for a while, I don't know how long because I got into a show, which actually turned out to be a good thing because the lentils fell apart and thickened the soup nicely. Serve up in a cute bowl, dollop with the yogurt and enjoy!

I forgot to take a picture but it was so so good! I will definitely be making this again!
