Sausage & Lentil Soup (inspired by Carrabba’s)🍲♥️ Start out by adding 1.5 lbs of ground Italian Sausage to a large pot on medium heat with some olive oil. (I used half sweet and half hot classic Italian sausage today, but you can also use turkey Italian sausage instead.) Brown this up and once it’s fully cooked, add: -2 cups of diced onion -1 cup of diced carrots -2 cups of diced celery -5 cloves of minced garlic -1 tablespoon of fresh thyme -1 tablespoon of fresh oregano -1 teaspoon of fennel seeds -red pepper flakes to taste Cook until the veggies are tender and then add: -One 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes -8 cups of chicken broth or bone broth -one 12 ounce bag of lentils And season to taste with: -chicken bouillon powder -salt & pepper Then cook it covered for about 1 hour or until the lentils are soft (stirring occasionally) When serving top it off with Parmesan cheese and some fresh Basil.
