- Add the dried lentils and toast for another minute.
- Add the canned tomatoes, coconut milk and broth. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer.
- Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
- Uncover and add the kale and cook another 5 minutes.

- Use full fat coconut milk and not low fat or no fat! You will want the creaminess from the full fat. It will be separated in the can. Simply stir it all together and then measure out and add to your soup.
