Hi ladies!

Just wanted to share this recipe with you as I heat up my leftovers from last night’s dinner. I know this is a bit different from my normal posts, but I made this delicious soup and I thought you’d all really enjoy it! Let me know if you tried it and what you think. Yum!

Ingredients:

1 lb. Italian sausage (I use half hot, half mild)

6 cups chicken broth

2 cans (14-1/2 oz. each) un-drained diced tomatoes (sometimes I use 1 can of Rotel to substitute for 1 can of tomatoes)

2 cups dry lentils, rinsed

1 large onion, chopped

2 large carrots, chopped

1 small zucchini, chopped

1 stalk celery, chopped

1 cup fresh baby spinach, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. salt

Black pepper, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, parsley, and thyme to taste

Directions:

Brown sausage; drain off fat.

Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until lentils are tender. Add water, if necessary, for desired consistency.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

Yum, yum, yum!
