Red Lentil Soup with Kale and Lime

What am I doing posting a lentil soup recipe on Thanksgiving Eve? Well, you can blame it on the kale.I'm a newcomer to kale. I've had an irrational hatred of it since college, where Physical Plant dug up all the pretty flowers on campus and replaced them with ornamental kale. I thought they were ugly. And a vegetable, not a fair flower. Nothing about them looked fair or lovely to me at all.
