One of the best lentil soups you’ll ever taste! Prepare in
a crockpot or simmer over the stove. Can be made without the sausage for a vegetarian
version.
Ingredients
1 cup (255g) lentils, uncooked
1/2 pound (230g) turkey kielbasa sausage, cut into 1-inch (2.5cm)
pieces
1 cup (180g) onion, chopped
1 cup (150g) celery, chopped
1 cup (150g) carrots, chopped
1 cup (180g) potato, diced
2 Tbsp (5g) parsley
6 cups beef broth, (canned or made with bouillion) (1.5L)
1/2 tsp (2g) black pepper
1/8 tsp (1g) nutmeg
Directions
Wash and drain lentils. Spray a large pot with vegetable oil spray and
brown sausage.
Add onion and cook until translucent.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring
occasionally to prevent sticking.
Note: If using a crockpot, place all raw ingredients in the pot and
simmer all day, stirring occasionally.
