Lentil, sausage and rice soup : page 87

I usually don't eat meat, but my mom gave us some locally raised, organic chicken sausages and I just couldn't say no. This soup was definitely a worthy dish!

I used half as much stock as the recipe called for (12 cups) and used water for the rest. The only other thing I changed was adding a whack of fresh ground pepper at the end.

Next time I would add 1/4 tsp. of crushed red pepper at the beginning, for a little more bite (the sausages I used weren't very spicy).

Had this as dinner, but it could easily be an appetizer and would be wonderful for a potluck. Used the aged cheddar I had on hand which was just conventional cheddar; a sharper cheese, like Balderson's Aged White Cheddar would have made this dish phenomenal. I used organic beans and am considering soaking and cooking my own next time instead of using canned. Delicious!
