Firstly, I just want to say I am so grateful for the rain we have been receiving in California this past month. We desperately need it and I love the rain! However, it has been making the temperature drop quite a lot, and what better than a soup to warm you up from the inside out?
Since I work at night, there is not much time to cook dinner, so I made this in the slow cooker soup and it turned out wonderful.

1 pound lentils
2 pounds vegetable broth
4 cups water
1 red onion, minced
3-4 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
4 cups kale, chopped
1 sprig rosemary
2 sprigs thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
Throw everything except the salt into the slow cooker. The salt will make the lentils cook slower. Cook on low for 5 hours or on High for 3 hours. When the lentils are cooked, season with salt to taste and serve with crackers.
