Ingredients

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed

2 cups potatoes, chopped

2 cups celery, chopped

1 cup green lentils

3/4 cup yellow split peas (or additional lentils)

1 onion, chopped

5 cloves garlic, minced

8–10 cups vegetable or chicken broth

2 teaspoons herbs de Provence

1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste

2–3 cups kale, stems removed and chopped (added at end)

1 cup parsley, chopped (added at end)

1/2 cup olive oil, herb-infused (added at end)

A swish of sherry, red wine vinegar, or lemon juice (added at end)

Instructions

  1. Place butternut squash, carrots, potatoes, celery, lentils, split peas, onion, garlic, broth, herbs de Provence, and salt into the crockpot. Stir to combine.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until vegetables and lentils are tender.
  3. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in kale and parsley. Cover and let wilt.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in olive oil and a splash of sherry, vinegar, or lemon juice to taste.
  5. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes for added sweetness.

Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for a subtle kick.

Use only lentils if you prefer a single type of legume.

Add a handful of cooked quinoa or barley at the end for extra texture.

Make it vegan by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
