Smoked Sausage and Lentil Soup image

I was looking for a hearty soup for a cold, rainy weekend. When I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, I made this soup using ingredients that appealed to me from a combination of recipes. What resulted was a thick, stick-to-your ribs soup that everyone enjoyed! This one will go into "our favorites" section of my cookbook!

Categories     Lentil

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb smoked sausage, diced (I used light smoked beef sausage)
1 lb lentils
1 tablespoon olive oil (or olive oil cooking spray)
2 onions, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
2 bay leaves
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes in tomato puree
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
4 cups canned beef broth

Steps:

  • Wash and sort through lentils, removing any stones, etc.
  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until onions have begun to wilt, about 10 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients and heat until boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove bay leaves, let "rest" for about 15 minutes to blend flavors and serve.
  • This may be thinned with a little more broth or water if it becomes too thick.

This soup was a lot of work to make and it didn't turn out very good. I wouldn't recommend it.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and added some diced carrots and celery.
