Chicken Sausage Lentil Stew
It is not quite fall but I was craving soup on this mild 95 degree South Carolina day. I was trying to come up with something that was light, using some summer veggie. Tomatoes and Basil seemed like the perfect combo for the flavors of this soup.1 lb mild Italian chicken sausage, ground
1 onion
6 garlic cloves
8 cups chicken broth
2 cans 14 oz diced tomatoes
1 8oz can tomato paste
3 cups fresh spinach
1.5 cups organic green lentils
1 tsp oregano
2 bay leaves
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
salt, pepper to taste
top with fresh cherry tomatoes and basil
Brown sausage for about 5-7 minutes and then cook onions and garlic for another 5 minutes. Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil. Then simmer for about an hour. I served this with crusty bread and apple slices. The kiddos ate this up! They loved it.
