Mexican Lentil Soup

Lentil soup with sausage and potatoes makes a hearty and delicious soup for lunch or dinner. Lentils is a very nutritious, economic and easy meal to prepare. I like to make lentils with sausage you can use bacon or other meat.

There are several variations for vegetables that you may want to try, after making my recipe. you may want to try with carrots, green beans, zucchini or corn.

I like my recipe a little bit spicy and I like to use corn starch to thicken just a little bit the soup. it is delicious!!!
