Kale Lentil Soup

OK, so I've been pretty bad lately. Eating pizza, pie, and chocolate.  Today, I had a pear in the morning, low fat fried eggs and toast, and later carrots and hummus. Pretty healthy, right?

Yesterday was my weigh in, but I couldn't go, because I got to meet Academy Award Winner David Seidler, the screenwriter of The King's Speech.  Don't worry, I was with a crowd of 300 others. But I did go up to him after to say hello.  

 This afternoon I got a real hankering for vegetable soup- perhaps because I was trying to make up for  all my "bad behavior" or maybe my body was just pleading with me for leafy greens. Whatever the case may be, I concocted this glorious blend that is now sloshing around in my stomach and making me feel very, very healthy and satisfied...

The greens are emerging from a pressure cooker.  Yes- I pressure cooked them for a very short time and they turned out perfectly.  Otherwise normally kale takes a long time to cook.  I've found a secret weapon to make it cook fast.

 
Kale Lentil Soup

-Kale, Bok Choy, and any other vegetable you may like
-Soaked Lentils- any kind that you like
-Sea Salt, Vegetable Bouillabaisse

Soak lentils overnight. (I like to soak lentils and keep them hanging around so they're ready for use at a moment's notice.)  Start the water boiling in the pressure cooker and add lentils. Meanwhile chop the vegetables and add them.  Pressure cook for 2 minutes and release the pressure. Season with salt and bouillabaisse.
