I love a good hearty soup on a cold winter day, it is a full meal in itself. I thought I would make soup for dinner tonight and didn't want to go out for groceries in this snowstorm so started looking through my freezer for ingredients I could use. I found frozen spinach and Italian sausage and thought that would go well with some lentils and diced tomatoes. I also had some fresh basil that needed to be used up, so an Italian themed lentil soup was born. You can make it vegetarian by not adding the sausage or make it vegan by not adding the sausage or parmesan cheese. Add other vegetables like mushrooms and red pepper, if you have them on hand. I hope you enjoy it, we sure did, yum!
