Servings: 8
This is one of my all time favorite soups. It is thick and hearty. It is a recipe that I grew up with. You can tinker around with it, but I have always loved that it is so simple. I have guessed at the prep time and cooking time as the soup can simmer for a while after it is done. Can omit wurst and sub vegetable broth for chicken if you want to make it vegetarian.
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) bag brown lentils
4 potatoes, diced and peeled
2 large carrots, diced and peeled
4 cups chicken broth (may need more or can use some water too)
5 pieces bacon (cooked and broken up)
6 bratwursts
Directions:
1. Add first 3 ingredients to a large pot.
2. Add 3 cups of broth.
3. Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until everything is tender.
4. You may need to add some more broth or water as it is absorbed.
5. 30 minutes before you want to serve it add the wurst or hot dogs if you wish and let them cook through.
6. Serve with hearty bread and a salad.
