The Seven Wonders of Soup
There is an old Italian saying that states; La Zuppa fa sette cose which in English translates to Soup does seven things”. It is said to; quench your thirst, satisfy your hunger, fill your stomach, aid in your digestion, make your teeth sparkle, color your cheeks, and help you sleep. I cannot honestly say that soup has managed to do all those things for me but I can say, that soup truly is one of the most comforting and without a doubt most satisfying foods that I have always taken great pleasure in eating.
Italian Sausage and Lentil Soup
2-3 lg. cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 c. or less olive oil
2 c. or less diced Italian sausage (sweet or hot, or mixed), sautéed & fat removed
1 med. onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
3 c. chicken stock
3 c. water
2 c. lentils (dry), picked over & rinsed to remove any stones (almost 1 lb.)
Salt and pepper to taste
In large, heavy saucepan, sauté the garlic in the oil, over medium heat, for few minutes, careful not to let it brown. Add sausages, stock and water, onions and lentils. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover the pan and simmer the soup for 1-1 1/2 hours, or until lentils are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
