Steps:
- Wash and sort through lentils, removing any stones, etc.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until onions have begun to wilt, about 10 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients and heat until boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove bay leaves, let "rest" for about 15 minutes to blend flavors and serve.
- This may be thinned with a little more broth or water if it becomes too thick.
LENTIL SOUP WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE AND APPLES
Flavored with apple, sausage and mustard, this slightly creamy lentil soup strikes a nice balance between delicate and hearty. Small green lentils, or French lentils or lentils du Puy, are khaki-colored legumes that have a peppery flavor and keep their shape when cooked instead, which gives this soup an appealing texture. You can also use black lentils or easier-to-find brown lentils, but keep in mind that brown lentils will fall apart as they cook, creating a thicker stew. This soup takes only a few minutes to throw together, and most of the time is spent in hands-off simmering time, putting it within reach for a weeknight. It's never necessary to soak lentils, as they cook relatively quickly. (You can find a slow cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the half the chopped apples, and cook, stirring until softened, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes.
- Add the celery, garlic, sage and thyme, and stir to combine. Pour in the cider and let it come to a bubble. Add the sausage, lentils, nutmeg and 4 cups water to the pot. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Let the soup come to a boil, then decrease the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the lentils are tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Just before you are ready to eat, add the vinegar. Stir together the sour cream and mustard, then stir the mixture into the soup. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with the scallions and remaining chopped apples.
Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: A smoked sausage with a strong flavor, such as kielbasa or chorizo, will give your soup the most flavor.
- Don't overcook the lentils: Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and nutrition to the soup.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
Smoked sausage and lentil soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try!
