Hi Lorrie,

To be honest, I was surprised by the sodium count as well. I use a third-party nutrition calculation system, and I don’t have access to see the stats for each individual ingredient. I can only assume that the majority of the sodium is coming from the chicken broth (which even less-sodium broth still has quite a bit) and the sausage. Perhaps the curry powder, if it’s a kind that contains salt. I would just watch for those things to reduce it as much as you can.

1464g of sodium for a bowl of soup is rather high. Any suggestions on how to reduce it? Other than maybe the sausage, I dont see an abundance of salt in the other ingredients.

In reply to C.p.. Thank you so much, Carmen. The bowls are from Anthropologie several years back.

In reply to Angela Coleman. The yogurt is totally optional, so feel free to just omit it, or use a non-dairy yogurt. Thanks for stopping by, Angela.

Any suggestions on a non dairy option for the yogurt?

Hi Melissa – this soup uses dried lentils. Rinse them under cold water, and give them a quick glance to see if you see any small stones, debris or anything else that shouldn’t be there. It’s really rare these days, but has been known to happen with lentils in the past!

Your soup sounds delicious! I’d like to make it this week but I have not cooked with lentils before. Did you use dry or canned? Can you explain what you mean by “rinsed and picked through”? Thank you!

Hi Kelsey! Great question. The turkey sausage I’m referring to isn’t the kind that is made from ground turkey. It’s actually more like a smoked sausage / kielbasa product (although is usually found in the same part of the grocery store where the ground turkey sausage and hot dogs are found). Please see the following links for a couple of different options for sausage for this soup. I hope this helps!

Do you think it would be okay to use raw turkey sausage? I know you used cook but putting it in a croc pot for 8 hours would it cook fully? It’s easier to find raw than cooked.
