Italian Lentil & Sausage Soup Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the onion, carrot and celery in the oil, until the onion is softened.

Step 3: Add the stock, tomatoes, potato and lentils. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 4: Simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Ladle up a thick and chunky bowlful, and garnish with a playful scattering of parsley.
