Sausage Lentil Soup
|
Hi Reader, The weather in North Carolina has been all over the place lately. One day it's in the 70s, and the next it's cold, rainy, and windy. On the cold, rainy days, I want soup. Really good soup. This sausage lentil soup fits the bill. Not only is it delicious, but it's packed with good stuff β lentils for fiber, zucchini, celery, onions, carrots, and tomatoes. And the Italian sausage? It adds so much flavor. This is the kind of soup that makes you actually look forward to a gloomy day. Just kidding, I hate gloomy days.
A few tips to make it even better: π₯ It tastes even better the next day β make a big batch. The flavors just keep developing overnight. π₯ Switch up the sausage β Italian sausage is my go-to here, but smoked sausage works great too if that's what you have on hand. π₯ Switch up the veggies β you donβt have to use the same veggies I used, either. I love how soup can be adapted so easily. Throw some kale or spinach up in there if it suits you. If you're in your soup era too, here are a few more to add to the rotation: π² Lentil Spinach Soup β another great lentil option if you want to go meatless π² Split Pea Soup with Ham β same cozy energy, different legume π² Collard Green Soup β a reader favorite worth revisiting Stay warm and happy cooking, Tanya As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Hi Reader, This air fryer salmon has been one of my most popular recipes for a while, and for good reason. Salmon in the air fryer is not only so easy to make, but the way the outside gets perfectly crisp while keeping the inside juicy and flaky is pure magic. It comes together so fast, and it's so good over rice (y'all know I love some rice) with a side of vegetables.
