Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¾ pound Italian sausage links, casings removed

  • 2 medium onions, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 6 cups stemmed and torn mustard greens (about 1 bunch) or kale

  • 1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 cup dried lentils

  • kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions and cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

  2. Add the broth, mustard greens, sweet potatoes, lentils, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
