Sausage & Kale Lentil Stew image

I made a pot of this awesome soup when visiting my sister and her family. Now, I'll bring it along when I stop by or pack up a few containers for my nephew, who appreciates a home-cooked meal while he's off at college. -Tiffany Ihle, Bronx, New York

I love this stew! It's so hearty and flavorful. I usually serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
