Spinach, Sausage & Lentil Soup image

Perfect for when it's cold out! I just made this with ingredients I had on hand, and it turned out delicious. It was so easy! I don't usually measure herbs and spices, but I am pretty heavy handed with them. Do it to your tastes, but generally with peppers I add about a half a teaspoon to start.

I wasn't sure about this soup at first, but it grew on me. The flavors really come together after it's been simmering for a while.

This soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to this soup and it was delicious. I also used chicken sausage instead of pork sausage.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this soup. The sausage and spinach balanced out the lentils perfectly.

This soup was a hit with my family! The lentils added a nice heartiness and the sausage gave it a delicious smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
