Servings: persons

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup lentils
2 big carrots, diced
2 bay leaves
2 bouillon cubes
2 links pre- cooked italian sausage, sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried rosemary

1
In the pot that will eventually hold the soup, saute the onion and garlic in the oil.
2
Add the lentils, carrots, bay leaves, bouillon, and enough water to make the volume of soup that you want. (Remember that the lentils will expand when they cook.).
3
Cover and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, turn the heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the lentils are basically done.
4
Add the sausage (I use chicken sausage) and the rest of the herbs, return to a simmer, and cook for about 3 more minutes.
5
Enjoy!
