    Lentil and Italian Sausage Soup

    Many years ago I worked at an Italian restaurant that had lentil and Italian sausage soup on the menu. It was not something I would normally be drawn to on a menu and if it wasn't for the fact that we had to sample the entire menu, I may have never tried it. One taste and I began my love affair with this amazingly comforting winter soup. I set out to recreate that very soup and the memories tied to it. I am proud to announce that it was a huge success. If you are skeptical, give it one taste and you will become a believer.

      I've made this twice. Both times it was delicious. Iit made enough to share with 3 friends and they all loved it.. I did have to add more chicken stock because mine was too dry.
