SAUSAGE AND LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a 5 quart or larger stock pot or cast iron dutch oven over medium high heat.
• Remove any casings from your sausage if they are in links and add to the pan. Cook, breaking up the meat until no pink remains. About 7 minutes. Do not drain the fat.
• Add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 hour or until the lentils soften. Serve warm with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
