Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups kale, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  5. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the chopped kale and allow it to wilt.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
