I'm not usually a Rachel Ray fan but I stumbled across this recipe and decided to give it a try. I'm happy I did! This soup is very flavorful and a great way to get my very picky husband to eat his vegetables!

Much like the other reviewers I changed things up a bit in the making. For a leaner dish, I opted for hot turkey sausage instead of the pork used in the original. I also tripled up on the carrots and used red chard instead of kale. And, having forgotten the chili pepper, I opted to add a little extra cumin to add some more smoky flavor and a touch of chili powder for that extra pop. The dish turned out well. I divided it into 8 portions instead of 4, which there is more than enough to do without anyone feeling hungry. Turns out this is a healthy stand alone meal. Lentils are a great source of iron. Couple that with more iron and Vitamin K in the chard, a good dose of Vitamin A in the carrots and a lot of protein from the turkey sausage and you've got a great, well-balanced, figure friendly meal.

Delicious, extremely budget friendly, easy to make, and tastes better the next day; what more can you ask for?! I did things a little differently, as I used what I had in my pantry: doubled the kale for more veggie content, used a jalapeno since I don't know what a Fresno/Holland pepper is, 1 turkey kielbasa sausage thinly sliced, sherry cooking vice the white wine, and it was oh, so good! I'm sure it will be just as tasty sans meat or vegetarian sausage crumbles for a church potluck, and did I mention how budget friendly this is -- and it feeds many! A definite keeper. Thank you, Rachel!

This is a great hearty soup that is perfect as a standalone dinner! I left out the potatoes and used a jalapeno pepper instead - yummy!

I had lots of kale in my garden and "mystery" sausage in the freezer that needed a place to hide so I used the recipe as listed. Delicious and wholesome. A keeper recipe.

I tripled the recipe for a dinner party. I substituted cabbage for the kale and garlic for the onion do to likes and dislikes of the guests. Delish! Everyone loved it!

To be honest I changed this recipe up a little to use the ingredients I had on hand. I used sweet Italian sausage ( 6 links also I use a bag of fresh spinach instead of Kale and I used a can of white beans instead of lentils. That being said, the recipe was easy and delicious, my family loved it and I will be making it again. Thanks Rachael!
