Carrabba's® Spicy Sausage Lentil Soup
By Todd Wilbur


Recipe Rating: (19 reviews)

It's not served every day at Carrabba's Italian Grill, but when this amazing soup is on the menu consider yourself lucky and snag a bowl. It's chock-full of lentils and other good bits of vegetables and herbs, plus there are big chunks of spicy Italian sausage in every bite. Best of all, it's a cinch to clone. Most of the work here is just chopping stuff up, including a small ham steak which you can find where the bacon is sold in your market. If you can't find a ham steak, you can slice up some deli ham. Get everything in a pot and let it simmer. In 1 hour you'll have enough hot, chunky soup for at least a dozen cup-size servings.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup minced onion

1. Heat up olive oil in a Dutch oven or large sauc

  This soup is actually better than what's served at our local Carrabba's. We were able to alter the spiciness and the saltiness to our taste (=less of each) and it's a much better soup. Highly recommended.

  These were the comments from people that tasted the soup after I made it: "One of the best bowl of soup that I've ever tasted in my entire life!" and, "Fabulous!" which was what I thought of this recipe. A deserved 5 stars for this amazing clone.

  I have never been a fan of soups, but I decided to try this one. It was delicious. I used the hot turkey italian sausage to make it lighter. It was still great!!!

  This was a simple and very (if not exact)replica of the soup that me and my wife loved so much..we doubled the ingredents so we could put some in the deep freezer it was awsome..

  Good soup. I've never had the original, but love soups. I didn't have fresh spices, but used dried and it was still very good. I could only get the mild sausage, but added extra red pepper to taste. Thanks for the great recipe!

  This was fabulous! This is my family's favorite soup at Carrabas, and this soup is a great clone. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who likes lentil soup, and I love that you can alter the red pepper to make it as spicy (or not) as you like.

  I have never eaten at Carabba's but this looked like a great soup. And indeed it was. I left out the ham, and used veggie broth instead of chicken broth, and added extra red pepper flakes for more heat. It was amazing. No matter what the cook at Carabba's thinks, this is a great soup. Restaurant soups are always disappointing and there was nothing disappointing about this clone! Thanks.

  We've never tasted the original, so we can't compare the two, but my family absolutely loved this soup, especially the 2nd day! Thanks!

  This was sooo tasty!!! I've made it twice this week. The second time I added another sausage link (we like it a bit spicier) and went with half chicken broth and half water (because I didn't want to waste chicken broth) and got rave reviews from everyone including my husband who made a point twice to say how good it was (high compliments indeed!)

Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes! *My* reputation as a cook has grown incredibly after I found your site!
