Categories     Lentil

Time 4h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 ounces dried lentils
1 ham hocks or 1 ham bone
2 tablespoons butter
12 cups chicken stock or 12 cups vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce or 2 teaspoons maggi seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons bacon fat
2 tablespoons flour
3 cups sliced knockwurst or 3 cups frankfurters

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, sauté onions in butter until translucent.
  • Rinse lentils, removing any grit. Place in the stockpot; add stock, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, nutmeg, black pepper and celery salt. Bring to boil over high heat; reduce heat and add ham hock or ham bone.
  • Simmer for 2 hours. Add water as needed, I like it thick and rich so I add very little water.
  • After two hours, in separate saucepan, combine veg oil and flour. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until browned, to make a roux.
  • Once the roux is a light chocolate color, Temper the roux with a couple of ladle fulls of the soup fluid (try to leave out lentils). Add roux/soup mixture to soup, it will thicken slightly. Sometimes its nice to use a hand held blender(boat motor as Emeril would call it) and puree some of the soup. I generally give it a few pulses. (Just don't forget to remove the bay leaf!).
  • Simmer for as long as you care to on low heat, the longer the better! Two hours at least for good flavor.
  • When ready to serve; Remove the ham hock or ham bone. If you used a ham hock, you could break up the pieces of the meat and mix with the soup. Usually it has added all the flavor it can to the soup and the meat doesn't really add much in taste. So I don't do this. Add wurst and simmer 5 minutes more to heat through.
  • Serve hot, on top of a bowl of spaetzle.
  • Tastes even better the next day!

GERMAN SAUSAGE SOUP



German Sausage Soup image

My granddaughter Vivian is addicted to this soup. The original soup calls for "Bratwurst" or "Knackwurst" but I usually use Polish Kielbasa instead.

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Cream Soups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb fully cooked bratwurst, knackwurst or kielbasa, sliced into into 1/2 inch slices
3-4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small head cabbage, shredded
3-4 medium carrots, sliced
3-4 celery stalks, sliced
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 c milk
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 c swiss cheee, shredded
fresh snipped parsley

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, combine sausage, potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, salt and pepper. Add 2-3 cups water (I sometimes use chicken broth). Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are nearly tender.
  • 2. Stir in cabbage and cook for 10 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Stir in 2 1/2 cups milk.
  • 3. Stir flour and remaining milk together and then add to soup. Cook on low until thick and bubbly. Stir in cheese until melted. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sausages: This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of bratwurst, kielbasa, and smoked sausage.
  • Don't overcook the sausages: They should be cooked through, but not so much that they are dry and tough.
  • Add vegetables to your soup: This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Use a flavorful broth: This will help to enhance the flavor of your soup. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Season your soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

German sausage soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different types of sausages, vegetables, and seasonings to create a soup that you and your family will love.
