Basque Lentil Potato Soup image

I made homemade lentil soup for the first time, and this recipe is a keeper. The potato and sausage add a lot of texture and flavor to this dish. The recipe says it's best when it's made 24 hours in advance. All I can say is if it's this good today, I can't wait for tomorrow. If you don't have chorizo use any other spicy sausage like linguica. Recipe courtesy of Beyond Burlap--Idaho's Famous Potato Recipes, Junior League of Boise. This recipe says it serves 4 to 6 people, but in my opinion it serves 8 to 10. However, if you find yourself going back for additional servings like I did, I suppose it would serve 4 to 6.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a winner. It's so hearty and flavorful, and it's perfect for a cold winter day. I usually add a bit of extra vegetables, like carrots and celery.

This is one of my favorite soup recipes. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes to give it a little extra spice.
