The World's Easiest Homemade Lentil Soup

Last week I made up a recipe using stuff from my cupboard. Not an uncommon occurrence, to be sure - but this one was actually GOOD! I know it was good because every last bite was eaten, and one of my co-workers copied my recipe and she liked it too! :::beam:::

So, I shall share with you my recipe for The World's Easiest Homemade Lentil Soup (whatta' mouthful, huh?)

Pour the following into a large crock pot:

1 bag dry lentil beans (yes, you should rinse them and pick out the icky ones first-duh!)

2 cans Cajun Stewed Tomatoes (fyi...my friend couldn't find them at her store, so she used Mexican-style stewed tomatoes and said they were delicious.)

4 cans of water (What measurement is that, you ask? The empty stewed tomato can will do quite nicely.)


Spicy sausage, sliced (so cool - other than picking out shrivelled beans and opening cans, slicing the sausage is the only prep required!)


Put the lid on the pot, set it on high, and let it cook all day!

That's it - no salt or any spices needs to be added because the spicy sausage and stewed tomatoes provide all the flavor you need.

You are amazed. Admit it. You know you are....
