Sausage and Lentil Soup

"I rarely make anything that is a lot of work, even if it is worth it. This soup is an exception. It comes from the Asheville (NC) Junior League's 1982 Cookbook "Mountain Elegance". The contributor is Lane Weaver Byrd (Mrs. R.W.H.). My mother-in-law asked me for this recipe, and that is a monumental occasion! I have never been able to find Oxtail Soup Mix, so I use Vegetable. I usually use ground hot Italian sausage in place of the whole ones, just to try to streamline the process a little. Please try this recipe. You will not be disappointed!"
