Hot & Sour Butternut Lentil Soup
1 box Trader Joe's Low-Sodium Organic Butternut Squash Soup
1 cup cooked lentils
1/2 bag Trader Joe's Organic Tuscan Kale, chopped
1 small onion
Garlic, fresh minced or powdered
Italian Blend dry herb mix
Salt, pepper, Tabasco
Pickled jalapenos
Tangy drizzle: jalapeno juice, rice vinegar, hot chili oil/sriracha/more Tabasco
Lime wedges
1. Saute onion & garlic til golden brown.
2. Add lentils & herb mix; be sure to salt well & add pepper last.
3. Once that mix is brown & toasty, add the box of soup; bring to a bubble, reduce to simmer.
4. Add chopped kale & continue cooking until just before the intoxicating smell sends you diving into the hot pot.
5. Ladle into a bowl; garnish with chopped jalapenos & a drizzle of the tang; serve with the lemon for extra pucker. If you want to get crazy, top with chopped parsley & toasted walnuts.
