Add a photoThis is a warm and hearty stew that is also good for you! I adapted this from a recipe on the label packaging of Trader Joe's black lentils, but reduced the sausage and made a few changes.
Ingredients
- 3 cups lentils, rinsed and drained (I use black lentils)
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage or bratwurst
- 16 oz frozen sweet corn or 1 14oz can corn
- 8 ribs celery, chopped
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 11 cups spring water
- 1 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
- Black pepper to taste
Directions
- Rinse the lentils. Remove sausages from casing and place in heavy 4 quart pot with tight lid. Lightly brown sausage and break into pieces. Add celery and onion to pot. Saute until vegetables soften.
- Pour in water. Add lentils, corn, salt and black pepper. Stir together, cover, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours. Remove lid for last 1/2 hour to thicken. Serve hot in bowls with a thick crusty bread and salad.

This is a great lentil soup recipe. I had it last night, and again for lunch today. It was even more flavorful for leftovers. The sausage adds a nice touch and even the corn, which I thought was odd, adds a welcome sweetness. Try with a slightly sweet whole wheat bread, possibly toasted, and you will definitely be satisfied.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!1 person likes this review
