First time I made this I found it to be a little bit on the bland side. The next time I made it I increased the sausage to 2 lbs. and increased the chopped garlic, parsley, oregano, and basil. I eliminated the thyme and the garlic powder. Delicious! I make tons of this during the Fall and Winter seasons and always keep some in individual containers in the freezer so we always have some on hand.

This was soooo yummy! I used 1/2 the pasta that the recipe called for and 1/2 the salt as well. I'm probably going to have to add a little more chicken broth when i go to eat the leftovers tonight b/c it's really thick. Def will make this again!

I used a couple of Buddy's chicken sausages, and since I only had half a bag of lentils, I added about 1/2 cup of pearl barley. Reduced liquid to 6 cups. Sauteed the veggies in a little olive oil, then put everything in my crock pot and simmered on Hi for about 3 hours before adding the tomatoes. It cooked up to a thick stew, and the aroma was tantalizing. I tasted before putting it in the fridge and plan to heat it up for dinner tonight. Very good.

Used all chicken broth instead of water. Doubled the herbs, and used hot sausage instead of sweet. Turned out fabulous.....this is the best tasting soup I have ever had!

THIS SOUP IS GREAT BUT NEXT TIME I WILL NOT ADD ANY SALT. CHICKEN BROTH IS SALTY ENOUGH. ALSO, ADDED 1 EXTRA TEASPOON OF GARLIC POWDER AND USED HOT ITALIAN SAUSAGE INSTEAD OF SWEET. GOES GREAT WITH A BIG HUNK OF CRUSTY ITALIAN BREAD.

Pretty good soup, but not quite great. I used all chicken stock in place of water, used mild sausage in place of sweet, and added extra herbs plus a beef bullion cube. At first it looked like WAY too much liquid but it cooked down nicely. Made a huge amount so I'm going to freeze half. Would/will make again.

The recipe as written is fair to good , but with some changes it can be a 5 star recipe. I made it with a full lb of sausage, also used the ditalini pasta( which makes it much more filling, plus higher calories! , will leave the pasta out out the next time). It still lacked in flavor until I sprinkled on the parmesan cheese, that is needed. I will make again but with few more changes as did other reviewers.My husband loved it!

YUMMY! Has become a regular on our menu. I modified a bit, using 1lb spicy sausage, and all broth instead of water. Great for leftovers.

this was so good! I used chopped smoked sausage instead, as it was what I had, and just chopped the veggies to uniform size before sweating them with the browned sausage. Then I added the rest, but only used about 7 cups of liquid total, so that it is really dense. Also, I didn't use the pasta. Served it with cornbead and salad. Delish!

Great flavor! I used 1/2 lb of hot Italian sausage as the recipe suggested. Then I added chunks (1/2 lb) of cooked sausage in its casing. I also used 4 cups water and 4 cups beef boullion, in addition to the suggested 2 cans of beef broth. I deleted added salt and the results were impressive. Everyone enjoyed this recipe and I will definitely make this again. Also, to increase the heat a bit, I added some red pepper flakes to portion for a family member who prefers hot flavors. Amazing recipe. Thank you!!!

My wife tried this recipe tonight, we are eating it right now as a matter of fact, and it is great! Only thing she did was use 1lb. of sausage instead of 1/2lb. I'm sure we will be having this again!

Delicious. Quick, easy and healthy. My advice if you want to have less fat (the only fat there is is the sausage) is to chop the sausage into tiny pieces so you get 'more' sausage with each mouthful.

I ADDED 2 TABLESPOONS OF TOMATOE PASTE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY BLAND. ALSO 1/2 TSP. HOT PEPPER FLAKES, 1 1/2 TSP. BASIL & OREGANO. ALSO 3 BEEF BOUILLION CUBES. IT ONLY TOOK 1 HOUR TO COOK. I COOKED THE DITALINI SEPARATELY AND ADDED IT TO THE INDIVIDUAL BOWLS OF SOUP. LEFTOVERS NEED MORE BROTH. NEXT TIME I MAKE THIS, I WILL CHOP THE CARROTS IN SMALL DICE INSTEAD OF GRATING THEM.

Loved this soup, as did all who tried it! Was simple and quick. I added extra sausage, garlic, celery, carrots and onions, a bit more spices than it called for and it was perfect.

it was ok... i reduced the tomatoes by half and added a little extra celery and Hot italian sausage. Instead of shredding the carrots, i sliced it similar size of celery , sausage, and tomatoes for a uniform look and sauteed them with the celery and onion. Due to the acid in the tomatoes, it could delay the tenderizing of the lentils, so i didnt put them in until i did the pasta. Slightly decreased salt, and slightly increased all other spices. Made a big pot, lots of leftovers.

Instead of adding 8 cups water, 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth, & 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, I added 8 cups of chicken broth, 2 cups water, and 1 small spicy V8. Plus I used hot sausage instead of italian & added spinach instead of ditalini. Delicious!

I made this is the crockpot and I would probably make it on the stove next time. Everything was delicious, except the sausage came out tasting watery. I also omitted the carrots and the pasta.
