Linsensuppe mit Würstchen (Lentil Soup with Sausage)

Method

1. 1

   Soften the onion, carrot and leek in oil in a large pot until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add the lentils, potato, bay leaf and stock; bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Simmer uncovered until the lentils and potato are fully tender, stirring occasionally.

   💡 Brown lentils hold their shape better than red — don't rush the simmer or the potato falls apart before the lentils catch up.

4. 4

   Stir in the sliced sausage and warm it through.

5. 5

   Finish with the vinegar, taste, and add more vinegar or salt until the soup tastes bright rather than flat.
