Carrabba's Sausage Lentil Soup Recipe

Nothing beats the aroma of Carrabba’s Sausage Lentil Soup slowly simmering away!
This soup is all about combining hearty ingredients like savory sausage, earthy lentils, and classic vegetables into one pot.
A great way to enhance the depth of this soup is to add a pinch of smoked paprika.
For the best texture, soak the lentils for about 15 minutes beforehand, as it helps them cook more evenly.
Don’t forget to finish it off with a drizzle of good olive oil for a touch of extra richness in every bite.
