Lentil And Turkey Sausage Soup

---

This is an adaptation of 2 or 3 other similar soups but is my favorite obviously. Not at all difficult to make and goes very well with low fat cornbread.

---

Steps

---

Brown sausage.

---

Drain off fat.

---

In a large pot combine all ingredients bring to boil.

---

Reduce heat , cover and simmer for about 1 hour or until lentils are tender.

---

Add water if necessary , for desired consistency.

---

I like to puree about 1 cup of the soup and add back to pot to give it a thicker consistency.

---

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
