Why This Dish Is Amazing

Rich in protein and fiber from the lentils, making it both nutritious and filling. The sausage adds a rich, savory flavor that complements the hearty broth. It’s a comforting meal perfect for any time of the year.

Tips To Improve This Recipe

- Rinse lentils thoroughly before cooking to remove any dust or debris.
- Brown the sausage well to develop deeper flavors in the broth.
- Simmer the broth gently to keep the lentils tender without turning mushy.

Step 1

Gently heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the sausage into the pot and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the sausage to your slow cooker.

Step 2

Add water, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, lentils, chopped onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic to the slow cooker. Sprinkle in garlic powder, parsley, oregano, pepper, basil, rosemary, and salt to taste. Give everything a good stir to combine.

Step 3

Set the slow cooker on low and let it cook until the lentils are tender, which usually takes around 4 hours. When the lentils are soft, stir in the chopped cabbage and let the soup cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the cabbage has softened.

Step 4

Give the soup a final taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm and enjoy!

Perfect Pairings

Serve the broth with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme adds brightness. For extra comfort, top with a dollop of plain yogurt or a dash of hot sauce.

How To Save Leftovers

Allow the broth to cool completely before storing. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It also freezes well—thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed.
