= Sausage Lentil Soup =

A hearty Italian-American soup made with lentils, mild Italian sausage, zucchini, and vegetables simmered in a savory broth and finished with fresh herbs.

== Attribution ==
Adapted from a recipe by James Delmage (Sip and Feast)

== Yield ==
8 moderate servings (or 6 large servings)

== Time ==
prep: 10 minutes
cook: 1 hour 5 minutes
total: 1 hour 15 minutes

== Ingredients ==
* 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
* 1 lb mild Italian sausage
* 1 large onion, diced
* 2 ribs celery, diced
* 2 medium carrots, diced
* 1 medium zucchini, diced
* 6 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
* 1 14 oz can plum tomatoes, hand-crushed
* 6 cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
* 2 cups water
* 1-1/2 cups brown or green lentils, rinsed and sorted
* 1 Parmigiano Reggiano rind (optional)
* 1/2 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley, minced
* 1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
* salt and pepper, to taste

== Instructions ==
# Heat a large heavy pot over medium heat with 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
# Add the remaining olive oil to the pot. Add the onion, celery, and carrot. Cook about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
# Add the zucchini and cook about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
# Add the white wine, increase heat to high, and scrape the bottom of the pot to release browned bits. Reduce wine by about half.
# Add the cooked sausage, chicken stock, water, tomatoes, lentils, and Parmigiano rind. Bring to a boil.
# Reduce heat and simmer 45-50 minutes, until lentils are tender. Add water if needed to loosen the soup.
# Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in parsley and basil.
# Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and grated cheese on the side.

== Notes ==
* Brown lentils cook slightly faster and have a milder flavor than green lentils, which are more peppery.
* The Parmigiano rind adds depth but can be omitted; serve with grated cheese instead.
* A splash of red wine vinegar or additional olive oil is excellent at serving.
* This soup improves in flavor the next day.
* Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated or up to 3 months frozen.
