Crockpot Lentil Sausage Spinach Soup

I am obsessed about the crockpot recently.  Sometimes I am just too exhausted to cook a full meal – I am sure you can relate.  This crockpot recipe is a spin on my Hearty Lentil Soup but even easier.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound dried lentils
• 8 oz ground sausage (pork, turkey or chicken)
• 14 oz bag of frozen mixed bell pepper strips
• 12 oz bag of frozen sliced carrots
• 6-8 oz of frozen chopped spinach
• 6-8 oz of frozen chopped onions
• 3-4 stalks of celery, chopped
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes
• 4 cups of organic vegetable broth
• Seasonings: 1 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper as desired

Directions:  Add all ingredients to crockpot.  Cook on high heat for 4-6 hours or low heat for 8-10 hours.  Stir near the end to help break apart the sausage.
