Petite French Green Lentil Soup with Kale

I received some Lentil Soup from a friend - it's made with Petite French Green Lentils, with spices and ham. Very good. I added 1+ cup of ripped up kale to the heated up soup, and wilted the kale. Deeelicious!

I added some ground pepper, tsp of Gulden's Brown Mustard, and 6 oz of hard cider. Simmered to reduce the liquid some before adding the kale and wilting it.
