Lentil Soup

Perfect for a cold & snowy night like tonight. Comes together in about 30 minutes, but best if it simmers for a while. Or the next day.

8 oz sausage (we like mild Italian or chorizo, but kielbasa would be good too)

1 small diced onion

3 cloves minced garlic

32 oz chicken broth

2 large diced carrots (about 1 cup)

8 oz bag lentils

14.5 oz undrained can diced tomatoes

1 head chopped swiss chard (or kale, spinach, or other greens)

1 Tbs worcestershire sauce

pepper to taste

Brown sausage, garlic, & onions in large soup pot until cooked through. Add other ingredients & simmer 15-20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.

Good topped with parmesan cheese & some crusty bread for dipping.
