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.

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. ๐
You are so right, regarding the addition of the smoky chorizo, it lifts this soup into totally new dimensions. ๐
