Lentils are a great source of protein, complex carbohydrates, calcium, and fiber. They are low in fat and are delicious. I have had this lentil soup recipe for many years. It is wonderful, nutritious comfort food. Give it a good 2 hours for the lentils to completely cook. I used low fat sausage this time and it tasted great.
