Category: Soups, Stews and Chili
Cuisine: not set
1/2 cup olive oil divided
4 large links of sweet Italian sausage casings removed (I used half of this, preferring the sausage to not dominate the soup’s flavor [update] and from the comments, it sounds like most of you preferred it with just 2 links as well)
1 medium onion diced
2 celery stalks sliced or diced
2 medium carrots peeled and sliced into half-moons or diced
4 cloves garlic sliced (reserve half for later in recipe)
A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup brown lentils sorted and rinsed
2 bay leaves
1 28- ounce can crushed tomatoes
6 cups water
Freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 cups shredded or ribboned Swiss chard or kale
Grated Pecorino Romano cheese to finish
