Preparation Steps
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the Italian sausage over medium-high heat. Remove sausage and set aside, leaving drippings in the pot.

- Stir in lentils, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
- Return sausage to the pot and simmer for another 15 minutes to heat through.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth. Add a splash of lemon juice at the end for extra brightness.
