Slow Cooker Smoked Sausage Lentil Soup

A hearty lentil soup delicately flavored with smoked sausage that simmers to perfection in your slow cooker.

 

I’ve been meaning to make lentil soup for close to one year!
Picked up a package of lentils quite a while ago, stuck them in a Lock & Lock container and just plain forgot about them.

Just dump in the ingredients and go
I also had a package of bourbon-flavored smoked sausage (Hillshire’s American Craft) that I’d never opened and wanted to use those too. Why not get “crocked” too from your crock pot meal!
It was a good soup day here too–not cold, but very windy. So I just dumped everything in my crock pot, set it to cook and had a delicious dinner!  And one that was probably healthy too.

Gorgeous flavors
Originally, I added 5 cups of water to start, but the soup got way too thick and I added another cup.  What you see in the pic is the consistency with 6 cups of water–so judge your consistency on that.  Start with 6 cups–if you need more, add it.
The amount of sausage is just a guide–as are the carrots and mushrooms (which you can leave out with no great loss). Use more or less, whatever you prefer. If you’re feeding a he-man meat eater, double the amount of smoked sausage!

    I wish I still had my slow cooker. If only I didn't have to leave it behind when I moved.. This looks amazing!
