When I made this recipe, I polled my followers on social media and most of you don’t think you like lentils or have never had them. I know this recipe will help you jump on the lentil train! Not only are they affordable, they’re packed with nutrients and have so many uses! Did you know lentil puree can be used for baking for added moisture? You can’t even tell, either!

Most common lentil recipes will use green or red varieties. You’ll need to rinse them well to ensure there is no debris or tiny stones mixed in the bag. This isn’t a Stone Soup recipe! Remember that book?

I’m partnering up with Produce for Kids again this year and I can’t be more excited! Their website has such a wealth of information for parents, plus SO many delicious recipes. Aside from being a great dinner, this lentil soup is perfect for the lunchbox thermos.1 in 6 children will struggle with hunger this year, which means they could open an empty lunchbox today. Help give back by making the with your family. Your promise = 10 meals donated to Feeding America! I love to get the girls involved when I make the promise…it’s a great teaching moment.

This soup is packed with veggies and nutrients…and luck. 🙂 It has been said that eating lentils in the new year will bring luck. Might as well try, right? I like to add chopped spinach in the end instead of parsley for an extra boost of flavor and color.

Course: Soup

  • 16 ounces Sweet Italian sausage about 5 links
