Sausage-Lentil Soup



The kids really ate this up last week. Missy even took it to school for lunch!

If I don't have fresh bell peppers, I just use chopped peppers from the freezer. And I usually use turkey smoked sausage.



Sausage-Lentil Soup
My stand-by for soups.


1 cup lentils, rinsed & drained
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup diced onion
5 cups water
2 tsp. chicken bouillon or soup base
1/2 tsp. dried sage
2-4 dashes red cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
6-8 oz. smoked sausage, quartered lengthwise & sliced 

Toss everything in a stockpot and bring to boiling. Simmer 30 minutes or till lentils are tender. Serve with biscuits or corn muffins.



Note: If you make this soup in the crockpot, add the sausage at the end of the cooking time.
