  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds Premio Italian sausage (remove casings)
  • 2 tablespoons dried Italian herbs
  • 1 medium onion - diced
  • 2 carrots - diced
  • 1 stalk celery - diced
  • 2 cloves garlic - crushed
  • 1 can plum tomatoes (16 oz. can)
  • 6 cups beef broth (or 6 cups cold water and a good quality soup starter)
  • 1 cup dried lentils - sorted and cleaned
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese - grated.
Directions
  • In large stockpot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat gently.
  • Add the sausage and brown and stir until it crumbles. Remove from pan and drain on towels.
  • In the same pot, add the carrots, celery, and onions. Saute gently for 3 minutes.
