Basque Lentil Potato Soup image

I made homemade lentil soup for the first time, and this recipe is a keeper. The potato and sausage add a lot of texture and flavor to this dish. The recipe says it's best when it's made 24 hours in advance. All I can say is if it's this good today, I can't wait for tomorrow. If you don't have chorizo use any other spicy sausage like linguica. Recipe courtesy of Beyond Burlap--Idaho's Famous Potato Recipes, Junior League of Boise. This recipe says it serves 4 to 6 people, but in my opinion it serves 8 to 10. However, if you find yourself going back for additional servings like I did, I suppose it would serve 4 to 6.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a good source of protein and fiber. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chorizo. It's also a good source of protein and fiber. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This soup is delicious! I love the smokiness of the chorizo and the heartiness of the lentils. It's a perfect meal for a cold day.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chorizo.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this soup. The chorizo and potatoes added a lot of flavor, and the lentils were cooked perfectly.

This soup is amazing! It's so flavorful and hearty, and the lentils and potatoes make it really filling. I added a little bit of paprika to give it a bit of a kick, and it was perfect.
