Comfort Soup

I woke up feeling a little tickle in my throat this morning.  As the day progressed my nose started to run and my body felt a little achy.  I wanted to lay down on the couch and wrap myself up in a blanket but since I am the mom of an energetic 4 year old I had to suck it up and resort to plan B, make soup.  Elliot and I made our family's favorite soup this afternoon and it is now warming my soul and my belly.  This recipe comes to me courtesy of my lovely friend Andrea and her Bon Appetit Magazine hand-me-downs.


                        Lentil Soup with Italian Sausage

It doesn't cure any colds but it sure does taste good.

PS.  If you live here in Phoenix, you must make a special trip to Niccoli's Italian Deli for the homemade Italian sweet sausage.  I paid $5 for a pound today.  Worth every penny!
