Lentil Soup Recipe

This recipe originated with a friend of my mom’s from way back when I was little. It has since been passed down to me. I’ve modified it some to fit my tastes but it is YUMMO.

Ingredients:

1/2 bag lentils (any color will do I usually use brown)
1lb Polska Kielbasa
1 or 2 potatoes diced small
1/2 large onion diced small
spoonful diced garlic
couple shakes of salt
1 tsp Marjoram
1 large can diced tomatoes
slices of swiss cheese

What you do:

Slice kielbasa (I usually cut slices in half so there seems to be more meat).

Brown kielbasa in a large pot.

Add potatoes, onion and garlic cook 5 minutes or so to blend the flavors.

Add salt and marjoram cook for 5 min to blend flavors

Add rinsed lentils and 8 cups of water.

Stir it up and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Add tomatoes and lower the heat.

Cook until lentils are your desired tenderness.

Serve topped with a slice of swiss cheese.

Enjoy!
