A big thank you to reader Tara who sent in her favorite lentil soup recipe. I adapted it a little so we’d have plenty extra for leftovers.
We love soup around here and I especially like using my crock pot so I don’t have to babysit the stove top all day long. Here is the recipe. I hope you like it, we sure did!
Ingredients
6 cups beef stock
2 cups lentils, rinsed
2 cooked kielbasa sausages, sliced
1 can {15 oz} diced tomatoes
3 carrots, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cooked rice {optional}
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a crock pot {except the rice} and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours. Stir in cooked rice right before serving.
**NOTE** If you are a vegetarian– you can swap out veggie stock for the beef and skip the sausage– you may want to add additional salt though. Thanks Tara, this recipe was awesome!
