Ingredients:
- 6 links italian sausage (mix of hot and sweet or whatever you have. the hot sausage really makes the soup though), browned and sliced (doesn'tsp have to get all the way cooked in the browning)
- 4-5 celery stalks, diced medium
- 4-5 medium yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped (don'tsp peel when you do the other veg, wait until the soup's on and you're ready
- 1/2 can tomato paste (or all of 1, they're a pain to keep. if you're really cool and have it in a tube about 2 tsp)
- lots o' water (bout 8-10 cups)
Directions:
- Brown the sausage. Put it on some paper towels to drain.
- Cook the bacon in your soup pot. LEAVE the drippings (you can, if you must, drain some out to lighten this up).
- Remove the bacon and add the celery, onion, and carrots. Enjoy the aroma. Salt to sweat and saute for about 5 minutes until the onion and celery are softened and the carrots are just starting to soften.
- Add the bay leaves and thyme.
- Add the tomato paste and stir it through for a minute.
- Add the water, lentils, sausage, and chopped bacon. Stir through. The water should be enough to completely cover everthing that's in the pot, plus the potatoes to come, and be a soup. You want 'broth' here.
- Cover, bring to a boil and then drop it to a low simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the taters and continue to simmer covered for 30 minutes.
- Add in the chopped parsley and stir through before serving.
- Remove the bay leaves (and thyme sprigs if you went that way).
- Get your bowls and bread plates ready and serve it up.
