Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds Premio Italian sausage (remove casings)
2 tablespoons dried Italian herbs
1 medium onion - diced
2 carrots - diced
1 stalk celery - diced
2 cloves garlic - crushed
1 can plum tomatoes (16 oz. can)
6 cups beef broth (or 6 cups cold water and a good quality soup starter)
1 cup dried lentils - sorted and cleaned
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 cup parmesan cheese - grated.

Directions

In large stockpot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat gently.
Add the sausage and brown and stir until it crumbles. Remove from pan and drain on towels.
In the same pot, add the carrots, celery, and onions. Saute gently for 3 minutes.
Add garlic and then gently crush the canned tomatoes and add one at a time.
Add the juice from tomatoes and then either the water or broth.
Add the pepper and dried Italian herbs.
Add sausage back in and simmer for 30 minutes until carrots are bite-tender.
Add lentils and cook for 20 more minutes; be sure to stir well or it will stick if not careful.
Before serving add 3/4 cup of the parmesan cheese and mix well. Taste soup before adding salt to it.
Serve with crusty bread and top with remaining parmesan cheese.
