Sausage Lentil Soup
Sausage Lentil Soup
"It starts with browning the sausages without the skins. Breaking sausages into small pieces allows the flavor to spread out into the entire soup. Chopping veggies and putting all other ingredients in your crock pot are literally what you need to do for preparation. What’s next? You sit back and do your thing until your house smells so good and your mouth starts watering."
