Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Remove the stems from the kale and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Add to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf, then stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice.
