Introduction

My family's slow cooker favorite. Just like the chain restaurant's version - except healthier! My family's slow cooker favorite. Just like the chain restaurant's version - except healthier!

Ingredients

    1.25 C dry lentils
    10 oz cooked Italian turkey sausage
    1 large onion - your choice - diced
    1 C diced carrot
    1 C diced celery
    3 C chicken stock or broth
    3/4 oz Dijon mustard
    1 T red wine vinegar
    6.5 oz heavy cream
    1 t salt
    1/8 t ground white pepper
    3 C washed, chiffonade spinach

Directions

Cover lentils with 1" water overnight. If you forget, no biggie. Just toss them into the crockpot with an extra cup of chicken stock and let them go all day.

Saute sausage and veggies (minus the spinach) in your slow cooker if you can. If not, saute in a pan, then transfer to slow cooker.

Add all ingredients EXCEPT heavy cream.

Let cook from 4-10 hours. You can't ruin this soup, I promise.

Add heavy cream from 1 hour all the way up until 15 minutes before you serve. The goal is to heat it through and let the flavors marry. I have desperately tried to eliminate this ingredient, and if anyone has an equally flavorful substitute, I am looking for a way to cut fat and calories.

Garnish with extra fresh spinach and grated parmesan if desired.
