Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large saucepan over medium. Add oil then sausages. Turn sausages occasionally until they lose their pink colour 4-6 min.
Remove to a plate. Add leek, onion, carrots and garlic to pan. Cook until onion starts to soften about 3 min.
Meanwhile, thinly slice sausage. Stir in tomato paste, coriander, salt, sausages and any juices.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently until flavour develops, 5 more min.
Pour in 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Stir in kale and reduce heat to medium. Cover and gently boil, stirring occasionally until kale is tender 5-7 min.
Stir in lentils. If soup is too thick, add more water.
Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan.
