We love Carrabba's sausage lentil soup, so I found several on-line that were similar to it and came up with this version myself. We love Carrabba's sausage lentil soup, so I found several on-line that were similar to it and came up with this version myself.

    1 stalk celery, chopped
    1 small zucchini, chopped
    1 can diced tomatoes or 2 fresh tomatoes, diced

Reduce heat, cover and simmer for one hour or until lentils are thoroughly cooked.
