Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 Tbsp fresh minced garlic (click for cooking tips)
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 red chili, seeded and diced (use seeds to add spice)
1 lb mild Italian chicken sausage, casings removed
1 large sweet potato, cubed
1 cup red lentils, rinsed
1 can (15.5oz) black beans
1 can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes and 1 petite diced tomatoes, drained
2 Tbsp tomato paste (I prefer in a tube)
2 cups unsalted chicken broth
3 cups water
1 (13.5oz) can coconut milk
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
Chopped cilantro for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Heat olive oil on medium heat. Add in onion, cook 3-4 minutes until softened. Next, add garlic, ginger and red chili. Stir and cook another 2 minutes. Add in sausage, constantly breaking up for 5 minutes until brown. 2. Add the remainder of the ingredients, stirring after each addition. 3. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until the lentils and sweet potatoes are soft and soup is at the consistency you prefer (you may add more water if the soup gets too thick). 4. Remove the bay leaves from the soup, add to bowls and top with cilantro. Serve with Five Grain bread.

I love making this soup in the fall. It's the perfect way to use up all the fresh sweet potatoes from the farmers market.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I wouldn't make it again.

I wasn't sure about this soup at first, but it really grew on me. The flavors are subtle, but they really come together nicely.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder.

I wasn't a fan of the chicken sausage in this soup. I think it would be better with regular sausage or ground beef.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still didn't have much flavor.
