I love lentil soup! Here's the one I came up with from trying various recipes. I call it Greek Lentil Soup because some of the ingredients are those that my Papa would have used :-)
Place lentils in a large saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water. Place over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain lentils into a colander. Pour olive oil in to the large saucepan and place over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and cook while stirring until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in lentils, 1 quart water, oregano, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until the lentils have softened, about 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add an additional amount of water during cooking if desired.

A healthy soup that freezes well and is just perfect for the cold weather we have been having. I made mine in my Instant Pot. It can also be simmered on the stovetop for at least an hour or made in a crockpot for 4-6 hours on high.
This delicious hearty soup is perfect for cold winter nights or anytime. Smoked sausage adds a great flavor complementing the carrots, onions, kale, and lentils.

This is originally from Grit Magazine. I tinkered around with it to make it suit my tastes. It is my favorite lentil soup, hearty, full of vegetables, and exotic spices.
Yesterday I had sausage and lentil soup at Carrabba's Italian restaurant. It was filling, not too greasy and absolutely wonderful. Anyone have the recipe or a similar recipe?
Thanks.

Carrabba's Sausage and Lentil Soup
1. In a large stockpot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add one carrot - grated , one large onion- minced and two cloves of garlic - minced (I have added celery and/or zucchini if I have it as well). Saute until tender.
Thank you for taking the time to post the recipe!
Even in the Spring and Summer I love soup and a slow cooker is the way to go to keep the kitchen cooled down.
