INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Red Lentils (prepared from ~1/3 cup dry)
1/2 cup Chickpeas, cooked
3 oz Lean Turkey Sausage
1 medium Carrot, diced
1 stalk Celery, diced
1/4 medium Yellow Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
Spices (Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Salt, Pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.
Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add the lean turkey sausage, breaking it into small pieces and lightly browning it.
Add the diced carrot, celery, and onion to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin softening.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red lentils, chickpeas, and diced tomatoes into the pot, stirring to combine.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
Allow the soup to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy a hearty, protein-packed bowl of soup.
