    This soup is the perfect make ahead meal. Make a batch on Sunday and eat it throughout the week for quick lunches or dinners. It has a little bit of everything - chunky potatoes, wilted kale, smoky soyrizo and fiber-packed lentils. It really is the most complete meal!

    How to make Zesty Potato, Kale & Lentil Soup

    Start out by cooking down the onions, garlic and spices in a BIG pot over medium heat. The smoked paprika is the star of this soup and you are going to get punched in the face with flavor as soon as you add it in.

    Let everything cook down for a few minutes then add in the soyrizo (you can get this at pretty much any grocery store) and a chipotle pepper. Let it cook down for a minute, then add in the potatoes, lentils and broth. Give everything one last stir then bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender.

    To finish off the soup, add in some lime juice and kale. Let the kale wilt down for about 10 minutes and then you are ready to eat!

    How to serve Zesty Potato, Kale & Lentil Soup

    To serve this soup add all of your favorite toppings. I served mine with a bunch of green onions, jalapeño slices and lime wedges. You could also add some crusty bread or even some corn chips!

    Leftovers are more than likely to happen. Keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days or let it cool completely and store the leftovers in the freezer!

      I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I have to admit I was skeptical about the vegan sausage, but it tasted great with all the other flavors of the soup.

      This turned out so delicious! Full of nutrition to boot. Wow. Really good. I'm sure meat eaters would never even know there's no meat in this dish. I added some corn in addition just because it seemed like it would go well with the rest of the ingredients, and it did. Thank you for this delightful recipe. This is one more delicious and nutritious meal I can add to our plant based menu.
