Today I made this delicious lentil soup with sausage, vegetables and swiss chard. I was so inspired by the flavors, I decided to post it right away.

• 3 Italian Sausages
• 1-2/3 cups of lentils
• 3 Carrots, diced small
• 1/2 Yellow Onion, diced
• 1 tsp olive oil or spray olive oil
• 2 tbsp of diced garlic
• 3 stalks of celery with tops, diced
• 6 cups of vegetable broth
• 3 cups chopped swiss chard

1. Heat a large pot with a little olive oil, add garlic and onion.
2. Remove sausage from casing and break up to brown a few minutes.
3. Add carrots, celery and let cook a couple minutes.
4. Add lentils, vegetable broth and bring to boil on medium heat.
5. Boil for about 40 minutes, stirring often.
6. Add swiss chard and let cook together for another 15 minutes.
