Notes about this recipe

This is good, but a lil less exciting than I was hoping. I feel the recipe calls for a bit too much turmeric (and I like turmeric!). If made again, I would half the turmeric asked. I also used some chicken broth in addition to the parmesan rind to have the broth be even more flavorful. Definitely improves the next day.

Tasty but I didn't think it was very interesting

This soup was a winner for my family. Modifications that I made were to use chicken Italian sausage, to use a prosciutto end in lieu of a parm rind, and to sub a bunch of chard for one of the bunches of kale. I also slightly upped the amount of lentils and reduced the water -- the stated amount seemed like it would make it too soupy for our taste and Jane's note confirms this hunch. I also added some big squeezes of lemon juice at the end (instead of sherry vinegar). I would def use chicken (or turkey) sausage again -- I think a full pound of pork sausage would probably be too heavy, and there's no risk of it drying out since it gets sauteed up front and added back at the end. I also liked the lemon juice, though I'm sure sherry vinegar would be good as well.

This makes a large pot of soup, enough for about 8 lunches. It has good flavor and although the broth is quite thin, the soup is filling with the lentils, kale and sausage. I added two large Parmesan rinds which I feel boosted the flavor. I will repeat this.
