Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb italian sausage (hot or sweet , as you prefer)
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery, diced (stalks )
6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste ( we use no salt)
1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes ( we use no salt)
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce ( no salt)
8 cups beef broth (low-sodium )
1 tbsp italian seasoning, crushed (dried)
1 cup dried brown lentils, rinsed and picked free of stones
1 cup water
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
ground black pepper , to taste

Directions:

The night before preparing the soup put the lentils in a large bowl and cover them with about 1 inch of water. Allow to soak over night. In the morning rinse and drain the lentils. Set aside to be added to the soup as directed.
In a large soup kettle brown the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. (Use bulk sausage or remove any casings).
Remove sausage, drain fat, leaving a small film of fat on the bottom of the kettle.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery; saute over medium for about 10 minutes, adding the garlic for the last 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook over medium for about 2 minutes.
Return the sausage to the pan. Stir in the tomatoes in their juice, tomato sauce, beef broth and Italian seasoning.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
Stir in lentils and water; cook for 20 minutes, tasting lentils for doneness and cooking longer if necessary.
Add a bit more water if necessary - depending on how thirsty your lentils are - this is a thick soup but there should be some broth.
Serve, allowing each person to add grated Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper as desired.
