I was browsing the Web and happened to see this photo of a soup. I immediately said to myself, “That’s lentils.” And after I clicked on the image I was taken to a page with the title, “Red Lentil Soup Recipe with Vegetables.”
How many times have I made a lentil soup/stew that looked like this? A bunch, and, the lentils, almost always cook down to this “baby shit” color. My simple recipe is to use Andouille Sausage, mixed lentils (red, green, black), carrots, onions, hot pepper flakes (or fresh hot peppers) and some type of greens (Dandelion, Parsley, Chard) and chicken broth. A basic recipe that works. I love the earthy flavor of the lentils. I like the spiciness of the Andouille and other sausages, like Polska Kielbasa or even Hot Italian Sausage do not quite rise to the level.

*I made this, in the early morning, and ate two helpings. It is vegetarian. It looks really good. Nothing to write home about. I did try it with the Spicy Chili Crisp and it did taste much better, but It wouldn’t be worth the trouble, or the extra cost of the ingredients, each time. Of note, it didn’t increase my blood sugar, or not that much. Yesterday’s “resting” was 104 (which is low for me), and this morning it was 125 (still good for me), and my weight had gone up to 251.2 (after about seven days below 250).
