1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 pound mild Italian chicken sausage, casings removed
3 cups water, or more as needed
2 cups unsalted chicken stock
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
1 large sweet potato, cubed

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and chile; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add sausage and cook, stirring constantly, until broken up and browned, about 5 minutes.

Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until sweet potato and lentils are soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Add more water if soup gets too thick.
