Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 lb smoked sausage (e.g. hilshire farms)
2 small carrots
1 small onion, diced ( omit if , like me , you don'tsp like onions)
1 lb lentils
1 tsp celery seed
8 -10 cups beef stock (see note below )
1/4 tsp tabasco sauce
1/8 tsp ground cloves
2 tsp thyme
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp vinegar

Directions:

(Note on beef stock: I use about 9 cups of stock, which makes a very thick soup. If you like a thinner soup, add more water. Commercial stocks, such as Swanson's, have a stronger flavor, so no more than 8 c. of stock should be used; then add water if necessary).
Shred carrots and sausage in a food processor.
Combine all ingredients except the vinegar in a stockpot. A 4-quart pot will be fine for 9 cups of stock; if you use more than that, you will need to go to a 5-quart or 6-quart pot.
Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer about 1 1/2 hours, or until lentils are soft.
Add vinegar and stir well.
With 9 cups of stock, makes about 6 2-cup servings.
Like most soups, this reheats very well, and becuase there is virtually no fat in it, it can even be frozen.
