Ingredients: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 1 large sweet onion, chopped; 4 stalks celery, chopped; 4 medium red potatoes, chopped; 1 carrot, chopped; 3 cloves garlic; ¼ teaspoon ground allspice; ¼ teaspoon cumin seeds; ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper; ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves; 1 dash pepper; 1 quart vegetable broth; 1\u2009½ cups dry red lentils; 2 cups water; 1 cup roughly chopped kale; ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro; 1 teaspoon file powder

I made up this recipe one chilly weeknight to stave off a cold. I was surprised at how delicious the soup was! The file powder makes it nice and thick, but it may be left out. A warm loaf of sourdough bread is all you need to complete your meal!
