    Excellent for a cold December evening. Instead of slicing the dosage I pushed it out of the casing into balls to brown it. Will make again and would’ve easily adaptable to what’s on hand

    Fantastic! Can't get italian pork sausage here, but used txistorra instead and worked beautifully.

    This is one fabulous lentil soup. It’s so adaptable to what you have on hand. I used a turkey kielbasa sausage sliced into half-moons and added a seeded minced jalapeño. Very warming and comforting on a cold Alaska winter evening. Looking forward to the leftovers tonight.

    It is freezing here (last night -19 C......on Nov 12/13?? Really??). So this soup, which I've made countless times, is on the menu. The choice of sausage is dependent on what is in the freezer at that time and the only real change I typically make is to use navy beans in place of the lentils....which does change the cooking order a bit. Don't question the ketchup - it is a great addition to up the flavour (taste it before and after adding to see what I mean). This is a delicious and hearty dinner with some kind of "toasty carby" thing on the side AND it freezes really well in lunch size portions.

    A delicious and hearty soup. I use hot italian sausage instead of the garlic sausage and it was good.
