Having been disappointed by too many lentil soup recipes.
Recipe Summary Lentil, Kale, And Sausage Soup
The original recipe is from the Nov 2011 'Taste of Home' magazine and called Lentil-Tomato soup. I doubled the size and tweaked the seasonings. I recommend cornbread as a side. Great for cold winter days.Ingredients | Lentil Soup With Sausage Instant Pot
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.
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.
