Theres something about Sausage Lentil Soup I just love. It's comfort in a bowl. The ingredients are so darn simple, almost as if the finished product is more than a sum of its part. I love when that happens.
1 ½lbssausages/sausage meat of your choiceI used Venison Sicilian sausages. Something like Italian,bratwurst, mild chorizo, rosemary, something herby, would work.
2cupschopped carrots
1cupchopped celery
2cupschopped onion
8-10garlic cloves
1tablespoonthyme
1teaspoontumeric
2cupgreen lentils
3quartsbroth
saltto taste
Instructions
Take the skins of the sausage and saute in a large pot on medium.
When mostly cooked, add carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
Saute for 5-10 minutes, then add remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for an hour.
Taste for seasoning, and serve!
Notes
When it's been chilled, it'll thicken up more and you might need to thin it with water to get it to your desired consistency.
