This hearty soup is peppered with spicy sausage, ground spices and dried herbs, and fresh basil. The lentils are the perfect vehicle to carry the robust flavors from the red wine and hot sauce, and the tomato sauce ties everything together.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.

- Stir in the chicken stock, tomato sauce, red wine and lentils. Increase the heat and cook until boiling, then reduce to a hearty simmer. Cover and cook until the lentils are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
