Why You Will Love this Recipe
This recipe is true comfort food, but it just so happens to be packed with both protein and fiber. This Sausage and Lentil Soup is so flavorful and the whole family loves it. You only need a few ingredients to make a nutritious and filling meal. And it’s all made in one pan, that’s a win in my book! We often enjoy it with toasted sourdough or even my Easy Gluten Free Drop Biscuits.
What You Need
- Ground Mild Italian Sausage – feel free to use spicy Italian sausage if you like a kick
- Dried Brown Lentils
- Onion
- Celery
- Carrot
- Garlic
- Tomato Paste
- Italian Seasoning
- Chicken Broth
- Fresh Grated Parmesan
- Fresh Parsley
Recipe Notes
- I use dried brown lentils for this recipe, you could also use dried green. I do not recommend using black French lentils for this recipe, they do not cook the same and will not have the right consistency.
- You can use spicy ground Italian sausage in this recipe if you like a kick. If you can’t find ground sausage, you can use Italian sausage links and just remove the casings.
- You can store this soup in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
