    This chorizo tomato lentil and kale soup is a meal in itself!

    Lots of fantastic healthy ingredients served up in one big bowl.

    Normally this is a lunchtime soup for us, but I've seen us have this for dinner option too

    Questions About How To Make Chorizo Tomato Lentil And Kale Soup

    • Do I need to cook the lentils before adding them into the soup? No. Red lentils do not need pre-cooked. Just give them a rinse in a sieve and they're ready to go straight into the pot!
    • Can I substitute spinach for kale? Absolutely, just add in a few handfuls at the same time you would have added the kale.
    • Can I freeze this chorizo soup? Yes. Just let the soup cool completely first. I recommend portioning it up into individual containers and then placing in the freezer.
    • How do I reheat this lentil and kale soup? Allow it to defrost completely first, if just taken out of the freezer. Then either re-heat it in a saucepan on your stove, stirring frequently. Or microwave it for 3 minutes. Stiring it after each minute of cooking.

      What a delicious soup recipe! Perfect for the weather right now.. you can definitely consider I will be recreating it. I bet the addition of smoky chorizo really kicks the flavours in the soup up a notch!

        Thanks Thalia, yeah definitely time for soup with the way the weather is going right now. And, also a great opportunity for me to re-do all my soup photographs. 🙂

        You are so right, regarding the addition of the smoky chorizo, it lifts this soup into totally new dimensions. 😀
