Sausage and lentil soup has the benefit of being an inexpensive soup to prepare and it is hearty. I love soups like this because they are filling and they reheat well. This Carrabba’s Sausage and Lentil soup tastes even better the second day.

Carrabba’s makes everything up fresh for you. If you get the right table, you can watch them prepare your dinner right in front of you. You know your meal is going to taste very well when you look at the cooks there prepare your food with fresh ingredients.

This sausage and lentil soup is very easy to make. You don’t need to buy exotic ingredients. This soup is made with Italian sausage, onions, carrots, celery, chicken stock, and a little love on your part. You can put this soup together in about 90 minutes from start to finish.

I know you are going to love this soup. If you want to make this soup a little lighter, you can use Turkey Italian sausage. The Italian sausage is the most critical flavor of the soup. I suggest that you get the kind that you like the best. The type with a thick fennel flavor is the best one to get. Or you can make your own Italian sausage.

When starting out this soup I like to saute all of my vegetables before I add in the meat, I think makes the vegetables caramelize a little more and gives them additional flavor. You should cook this in a slow cooker if you wanted once you get the sausage browned.
