Slow Cooker Lentil Soup With Smoked Sausage
From about.com.....



Lentil Soup is so good for you and delicious. I haven't tried this recipe but I will with Smoked Turkey Sausage or even Apple Chicken Sausage. This lentil soup is quick and easy to prepare for the slow cooker. Combine the ingredients, cover, and push the button!

Ingredients:
8 ounces lentils, about 1 cup
12 to 16 ounces smoked sausage, your favorite variety, thinly sliced
2 cups chicken broth
1 large onion, diced
1 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:
In a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the lentils with sausage, chicken broth, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours, or until lentils are tender. Add tomatoes and salt and continue cooking for an hour or two longer.
