Kris' Lentil Sausage Soup

A good wholesome soup, though I agree with some of the other reviews that it's just a little flat tasting. I remedied that by adding a tablespoon of cider vinegar to mine, which was I think all it really needed. If you're going to make this I'd recommend doing the same.

Delicious!!! I used meatless kielbasa sausage and vegetable broth and it turned out great as a vegetarian recipe!! The whole family loved it. Definitely saving this recipe!

Just made for the first time & it's amazing! Was looking for a hearty, protein-heavy soup to keep me full longer. Made a couple changes based on reviews - added 3/4 tsp thyme, doubled celery, & increased carrots (used 1 lb baby carrots). Made a big pot, plan to freeze for later this winter. Wouldn't change a thing next time.

Excellent! I appreciate the tip on leaving the celery leaves on--I did that, and I think it does help add more flavor. I simmered mine for about 3 hours, and it didn't get mushy or anything. I am a huge salt fan, and I really didn't need to add much to my bowl because I really found it quite flavorful. I made no changes to the original recipe except for adding extra carrots and celery. I would even add more next time, but I love veggies. I studied abroad in Spain while in college, and my host mother made a dish very similar to this. She used Spanish chorizo instead of Kielbasa, but the dish was very similar. I've enjoyed cooking with lentils ever since.

This was very good. I used a can of Ro-tel in place of the crushed tomatoes. We added a little hot sauce at the table, but that's no reflection on the recipe. Nice and hearty, thanks for the recipe!

Pretty easy recipe. I made a few changes for myself. I used Tuttorosso crushed tomotoes and smoked sausage instead of kielbasa. Added additional carrots and celery. Cooked for about 1.5 hours before it was done. Made a HUGE amount of soup.
