"This is a hack of a soup my husband and I tried in a town called Williams, AZ. There is a really great restaurant on Route 66 called Red Raven. I asked kind of sheepishly for the recipe of their delicious Lentil and Sausage soup, and they kind of laughed at me. I came home motivated to figure it out. It turned out pretty close we think. I hope you enjoy this recipe."
