Packed full of protein and veggies, this soup is ready in a flash—it’s great for busy, cold winter nights.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 Italian sausages

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 1 leek, white part only, sliced

  • 3 carrots, diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 156-mL can tomato paste

  • 1 tsp coriander

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 small bunch kale, stems removed, chopped, about 8 cups

  • 540-mL can lentils, drained and rinsed

  • grated parmesan, optional

Instructions

  • Heat a large, wide saucepan over medium. Add oil, then sausages. Turn sausages occasionally until they lose their pink colour, 4 to 6 min. Remove to a plate.

  • Add onion, leek, carrots and garlic to pan. Cook until onion starts to soften, about 3 min.

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice sausages. Stir in tomato paste, coriander, salt, sausages and any juices. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until flavour develops, 5 more min.

  • Pour in 4 cups water. Bring to a boil. Stir in kale and reduce heat to medium. Cover and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender, 5 to 7 min.

  • Stir in lentils. If soup is too thick, stir in more water. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with parmesan. Serve immediately.
