Lentil, Ditalini, and Sausage Soup

(Zuppa di Lenticchie Ditalani e Salsiccia)

Ingredients

3 sweet pork sausage links or fennel sausage or hot sausages casings removed and meat crumbled. I add about a tablespoon of fennel seed.

6 to 8 cups chicken broth

1 cup dried lentils, sorted and washed (1 cup dried lentils yields 3 to 4 cups cooked)

 

1/2 to 1 cup ditalini pasta

1 - 20+ ounce can diced tomatoes

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Cook the sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Set aside.

2. Pour the chicken broth into a soup pot, add the lentils, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 30 to 35 minutes. (Do not overcook them or they will turn to mush; they should still have a bit of a firm core at this point.)

3. Stir in the ditalini, and 1 teaspoon of salt and continue cooking until the pasta is almost al dente, about 5 minutes depending on the brand. Stir in the sausage and tomatoes. Cover and simmer the soup for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Thanks, only thing I don't have handy are the lentils.

Lentils make the soup

There’s only 5 ingredients and I usually use hot sausages and use 4 or five.

its awesome on a cold day with a stick of Italian bread. Even better the next day.

Is it only available in the northeast? As a kid I loved a toasted peanut butter and jelly with a bit of fluff. Strawberry or raspberry were my preferred jam/jelly

Been doing a lot of homemade pizzas lately.  1 thin crust is pretty much enough for the 3.5 (4.5) of us and is quick.  

Right now, enjoying a hot cup of tea at the end of the weekend.

Just made this but made a substitution for the lentils because the wife can't eat them, used red beans. 

Damn delicious, thanks for the recipe
