This robust one-pot dinner packs in lentils, sausage and plenty of vegetables, including mushrooms, spinach, onions and garlic. A loaf of crusty bread is the only accompaniment you need for a complete meal.
Ingredients
Method
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add carrots, celery, onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes.
Add sausage and cook, breaking into small chunks, until it begins to brown.
Add mushrooms and continue to cook until mushrooms have released most of their liquid, about 3 minutes.
Add lentils, beef broth, mushroom broth, tomatoes and their juice, wine and chile flakes; cover the pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.
Add spinach and salt and pepper, stir well and simmer until the spinach wilts, 1 to 2 minutes more; stir in thyme. Ladle soup into bowls and top with cheese.
