Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups lentils
1 1/4 pounds thick or thin sweet (mild) Italian sausages without fennel seeds
3 ribs celery plus their leaves
1 medium-sized yellow onion
5 1/2 cups spring water

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils and cull them for small stones and debris. Put them in a heavy 4-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid. Cut thick sausages into 1-inch lengths or thin ones into 2-inch lengths, and put them in the pot. Clean and thinly slice the celery, chop the leaves, peel and finely chop the onion, and add it all to the pot.
