Ingredients

1 lb. lentils

1 lb. hot Italian sausage (pork or turkey for added healthiness)

2 celery stalks

2 young carrots (they are softer/sweeter than the "classic" ones and usually sold in a bunch with the tops)

1 large onion

2 small red potatoes

1 can of diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 crushed garlic cloves

8 cups of chicken broth (or bullion)

4 fresh chopped basil leaves

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1 bay leaf

Directions

Slit the sausage length-wise and remove casing.

In a large pot, cook the sausage thoroughly. Be sure to chop/break-up the meat while cooking.

Drain meat well and set aside

Heat olive oil in pot and combine chopped carrots, onion, cubed potatoes, celery, crushed garlic, and roughly chopped basil.

Saute on medium/high heat until wilted or for about 5 mins.

Add sausage, lentils, tomatoes, seasoning, stock; stir well.

Bring to boil for 3-5 mins.

Turn to low and simmer uncovered for about 45 mins. You may need to add more water if soup thickens too much.

Serve with hot biscuits and salad.

Keeps for 2-3 days in fridge.
