This is the best sausage and kale soup ever! Loaded with the healthy goodness of lentils and just the right amount of spice.

Spicy Sausage, Lentil and Kale Soup

olive oil

yellow onion, diced

garlic,

ground spicy turkey sausage (mild

thyme

oregano

(15 oz.) can diced tomatoes

Kosher salt

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add onion along with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes. 

Add garlic and saute 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Add turkey sausage, thyme and oregano to the pot.

Use a wooden spoon or spatula to crumble it as it browns.

Cover pot, turn heat up to medium high and just to bring things to a simmer.

Turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until split lentils are cooked through. 

I make a lot of soup, and this was AMAZING!!  I added carrots, celery, and a dried chili for some heat.

Oh my! This was so darn good. I am not a cook. I make about 5 or 6 things well and they are in heavy rotation.  So I was skeptical that I could make this. But with kale wilting away in the fridge and left over Italian sausage my husband had from another recipe, I decided to gave it a try. (I even sent him out with the kids to get burgers because I figured we’d need a back up when I failed this recipe). 
But this was so darn easy to make and oh so very good! We both ate this instead of the burgers. Also agreed, this is so good even without adding the heavy cream. I happened to have some on hand, but it would have been equally as good without it. 
Thank you for this recipe, it will be in my rotation now. I had to come back to subscribe to your blog and tell you thank you! C from No.VA

I made this tonight for myself, my husband, my 15 year old and my 11 year old.... it was a hit!! They inhaled it. I will be saving this recipe for sure. A one pot wonder! ❤️ Thanks for the recipe.

Every single member loved this! I had to sub smoked sausage for the turkey sausage and Italian seasoning for the thyme and this turned out super well. Also omitted the cream for my husband who has an aversion to creamy things but I personally think it would have added tons of body. We paired it with multigrain rolls and it was gone in seconds. Can't wait for the leftovers!

great recipe!! i’ve made it a few times for meal prep. Love that it’s an easy clean up since it’s a 1 pot soup haha.

I made this tonight for dinner and it was so yummy my whole family loved it! I am thinking about doubling the recipe and making it for my church luncheon. I did add carrots and celery just to use up what I needed in the refrigerator. Thank you so much for this recipe I will definitely be making this often.

A hearty and comforting soup with turkey sausage, vegetables and rice.
