About the Recipe
This is my personal favorite recipe! If I could get my family on board, we would eat this every night! What a Power house of nutrition in a one pot meal! The best part! If you can chop veggies, and brown sausage, you will be a master for this dish!
Ingredients
1/2 lb sausage (Italian sausage is yummiest, but not necessary)
1 1/2 cup lentils
1c kale/spinach
1 onion, diced
2 lg carrots, grated (about 2 cups)
3 cloves garlic. minced
1 tomato, cubed
2 c water
4 c chicken broth*
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp salt
1tsp basil
1tsp parsley
*Notes:
Broth- I use bouillon cubes and LOVE IT! Just follow the bouillon package for the ratio to water and you will have an easy broth! Or you can always just add water for the broth and season your own way!
Basil/Parsley- Italian seasoning can easily replace these, so if you don't have these herbs right off, don't sweat it! you can use them next time!

In a large stockpot, add a touch of cooking oil of choice, and sauté the garlic and onion. then brown and chop the sausage.
