We get excited when autumn arrives and temperatures start to dip because it means it is time for tasty comfort food, including big bowls of hearty soup. This recipe is loaded with protein from three key ingredients: spicy jalapeno chicken sausage; smoky, thick cut bacon; and the star of the show, lentils, which are also loaded with fiber, folic acid and potassium. Nutrition aside, however, this soup is simply filling, delicious, and has just a touch of heat to get your taste buds tingling. We hope you love it!
