This is modified from Kate Rodriguez's recipe on suite101. She says that "One of the most popular and enduring dishes in Germany is lentil stew (Linseneintopf), a tasty blend of lentils, vegetables and broth, adaptable to different tastes." I say: it's veggies and lentils! (Meat is only optional, and you'll find this dish quite satisfying without!)

Steps:
- Bring the lentils with 3 cups of water to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 25 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a soup pot over medium heat, saute the onion and spring onion in canola oil for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the potatoes, carrots and celery and saute 3-4 minutes.
- Add 3 more cups of water and the stock cubes. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes, till the lentils and vegetables are completely cooked. Add the final cup of water, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- If preparing the omnivorous version, drop in the sausages, and continue simmering for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg, to taste, along with the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lentil stew is usually served with bread or rolls. White vinegar is also offered at the table for those who want a stronger sour flavor in their soup.
