Ingredients:
- 1 pounds - Italian sausage or turkey sausage crumbled or sliced
- 1/2 - large onion chopped
- 1 stalks - celery chopped
- 2 - large carrots chopped
- 1 - small zucchini chopped
- 6 cups - chicken broth
- 2 cans - diced tomatoes 14 oz., undrained

Directions:
In a large pot, brown sausage over medium-high heat; drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients except for Parmesan cheese, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover.
Simmer for about 1 hour or until lentils are tender. Add water if necessary, for desired consistency. (Optional: puree about 1 cup of the soup and add back to pot to give it a thicker consistency.)
