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.

Steps:

  • Spray a dutch oven or large stock pot with cooking spray. Add onions, garlic and sausage. Break up sausage with wooden spoon while sausage browns. Drain off fat.
