My recipe is a bit different ladies but I guarantee it is very healthy, extra yummy and worth a try!


TOMATOE AND LENTIL SOUP WITH CHORIZO (PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 1/2 cups water
1-2 cups of chopped chorizo or other sausage
1 1/2 cups red lentils
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
2 bay leaves
1 dried red chili pepper or 1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup (3 ounces) crumbled feta cheese (OPTIONAL)

Preparation

Heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.

Next add chorizo or sausage of choice. Let cook, while stirring for 5min.

Add water, red lentils, 1 tablespoon dill, bay leaves, chili, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are tender.

Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon dill, vinegar, salt, and black pepper; discard bay leaves and chili pepper if used.

Next sprinkle with feta cheese if you'd like.
