French Lentil Soup with Mushrooms, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Kale

It's that time of year when soup is so often on the menu. Craving mushrooms, I came up with this nourishing soup that includes peppery Puy lentils for depth and substance, green kale for some extra earthy flavor, sun-dried tomatoes and a jalapeño for some tang and just a little heat … and, of course, mushrooms. This is a bold full-flavored soup that comes across as equally elegant as rustic, depending on how you look at it, but it is quite simple enough to serve as a delightful hearty lunch with some crusty bread. It is also a good choice for dinner, and I served it up with some pearl barley cooked in vegetable stock. function printDiv(e) French Lentil Soup with Mushrooms, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and KaleRecipe by Lisa Turner Published...
