Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, sliced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound sausage
  • 1 large bunch Swiss chard, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces and stems sliced
  • 1 c. dried brown lentils, picked over and rinsed
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, celery, chard stem pieces and carrots and saute just until fragrant.
  3. Add the sausage and break it up with a spoon, my favorite utensil is the Pampered Chef Mix n' Chop, you can really get the meat into nice small bits.
  4. Once the sausage is mostly cooked through and no pink remains, stir in the lentils and the potatoes.
  5. Add the broth, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover.
  6. Simmer until lentils and potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
  7. Once the potatoes and lentils are cooked, add the leaves of the chard and stir around until the leaves are wilted.
  8. Serve hot.
