Pretending

I am pretending that it is fall today, which it is technically, but in the South it doesn't feel fallish for a few more weeks. I think it will be in the 80's today. But because I am so ready for fall, I am making soup. I love homemade soup in the fall.

Today's soup:

Lentil and Sausage Soup

1 lb. Polska Kielbasa, cut in small pieces
1 c. onion, shopped
1 T minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils, rinsed
1 cup diced carrots
6-8 cups water
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1/2 t dried oregano
1/4 t dried thyme
1/4 t dried basil
1/2-1 T salt, or to taste
1/2 t black pepper

Brown the kielbasa in a small amount of oil. Add onion, garlic and saute until onions are translucent. Add water, broth, lentils, carrots, tomatoes and seasonings. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until lentils are tender.

The great thing about this soup is that you don't have to presoak the lentils.

Later this week, 15 bean Cajun soup. Maybe Wednesday-- the high is only 77 that day.
