SPICY SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Fry first three ingredients in a large frying pan over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink. Drain the fat. Transfer to a slow cooker.
• Add remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Stir. Cook covered on Low for 7 to 8 hours.

SPICY SAUSAGE AND KALE SOUP

Steps:

• For the sausage: Heat a dry skillet and toast the fennel seeds until fragrant. Add toasted fennel to the pork along with the Espelette pepper, red chili flakes and a big pinch of salt. Toss and set aside. Over high heat, coat the bottom of a soup pot or Dutch oven with olive oil. Position the meat grinder over the pot. Add 5 whole garlic cloves and the onions to the meat mixture. Turn the grinder on high and run the sausage mixture through the grinder. Use the plunger if needed to push the meat through and into the heated soup pot to brown.
• For the soup: When the sausage has begun to brown and caramelize, add the onions and garlic, roughly chopped, to the pot. Stir the sausage mixture so it doesn't stick to the bottom; then add olive oil and cook 2-3 more minutes. Add the stock and a pinch of salt, scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, and cover. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
• As the soup comes to a boil, thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline. Stir them into the soup, making sure the slices come apart. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper and another pinch of salt. Cover, bring back to a rolling boil, and continue to let boil for 20 minutes.
• Finish the soup: Reduce heat to low and remove lid. The potatoes should be broken down and the soup thickened. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper; then stir in the vinegar. Pull the fibrous stem out of the kale leaves and discard; roughly chop the leaves and add to the soup to wilt. Ladle into bowls and serve with more pepper, salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a fresh grating of Parmesan.

SPICY LENTIL AND SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Push the ingredients to the sides of the pot to make a well in the center. Add the chili powder, cumin and paprika in the well and toast until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir in the bay leaf.
• Stir in the chicken stock, tomato sauce, red wine and lentils. Increase the heat and cook until boiling, then reduce to a hearty simmer. Cover and cook until the lentils are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, then stir in the basil, hot sauce and lemon juice. Taste to adjust the seasoning and serve over quinoa if desired.
