Grandma's Lentils Rice and Sausage Soup

This is the most vintage recipe I learned from my late Grandmother Victoria and she was a huge lentil fan.

We literally never used the same meats in lentil soup back then it was whatever was leftover from our Sunday Tomato Sauce recipe so it could be sausage, pork ribs, beef, or even chicken.

The recipe I have written uses loose sausage meat since if you want a robust delicious soup that isn't using leftovers then you can enjoy her soup with that same delicious flavor.

Simple ingredients with carrots, celery, onion, and seasonings using beef broth make this super tasty.

If you're a lentil fan try Grandma's soup and if you happen to have leftover meats anything can go into this pot not just sausage so use it!
