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.
