Step 1
Start by warming some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, and cook them for a couple of minutes until they start to soften. Next, add the kielbasa, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, garlic, lentils, and bay leaves. Bring everything up to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about two hours. Once the soup has thickened and the flavors have come together, season it with salt and pepper to your liking. Give it a good stir before serving and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This soup is hearty and full of flavor, combining the earthiness of lentils with the smoky richness of sausage. It’s a comforting meal that warms you up on chilly days and is packed with protein and fiber, making it both satisfying and nutritious.
How to serve
Serve with a slice of crusty bread or warm rolls to soak up the broth. A simple green salad on the side adds freshness and balances the richness of the soup. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for an extra touch.
Storage & leftovers
Allow the soup to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freezes nicely for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a little water or broth if it has thickened too much.
