Ingredients
-
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
-
1 bunch kale, chopped into bite-sized pieces
-
4 medium carrots, diced
-
1 medium onion, diced
-
9 cups water
-
1 ⅓ cups lentils, rinsed
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
-
2 tablespoons white vinegar
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons garlic powder
-
1 ¼ teaspoons garam masala (Optional)
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
-
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
-
salt to taste
Directions
-
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Add kale stems, carrots, and onion; saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in water and lentils; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
-
Stir tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, garam masala, thyme, dill, tarragon, and salt into the pot. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Toss in kale leaves and let wilt, about 5 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
Tastes great with Italian or breakfast sausage, but if you leave it out, it's a nice vegetarian soup.
Garam masala is an Indian spice. It can be spicy.
