Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium (6 1/2 oz) onion (cut into small dice)
2 large garlic cloves (minced)
8 ounces store-bought or homemade fresh chorizo sausage
One (14-ounce) sweet potato (peeled and diced)
4 cups store-bought canned chicken broth or homemade chicken stock
2 cups water
8 ounces Lacinato kale (stemmed and thinly sliced)
3/4 cup red lentils
1 to 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar or fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-low heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium, add the chorizo, and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until it's no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the sweet potato and cook, stirring frequently, for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken broth and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir in the kale and the lentils and cook until the lentils are just tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.

SPICY CHORIZO AND RED LENTIL SOUP WITH KALE



Spicy Chorizo and Red Lentil Soup with Kale image

This recipe, adapted from "The Alaska from Scratch" Cookbook," by Maya Wilson, transforms a brothy lentil soup into a spicy, warming main dish with the addition of fresh Mexican-style chorizo and chopped kale. This simple winter dinner also features carrots, which grow unusually sweet in Alaska's summer light and temperatures, and are a root-cellar staple. Sweet or spicy Italian sausage works well as a substitute for the chorizo.
