LENTIL SOUP WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE, COPYCAT , CUCINA CUCINA



Lentil Soup With Italian Sausage, Copycat , Cucina Cucina image

Found this in our local newspaper years ago. It is said to be the clone of the Restaurant Cucina Cucina. A family favorite. I make it with spicy bulk Italian chicken sausage, as the lentils really off-set the spiciness of the sausage. I use only 2 teaspoons of the mustard, but 2 1/2 tablespoons of the apple cider vinegar.
