FCG: Kelly's Lentil Soup 02/22/06

Hi Gang! Kelly of our group recently forwarded this Lentil soup recipe to me. I think it sounds delicious! Also, happy Fat Tuesday next week: if anyone has a beignet recipe (or anything else New Orleansian), please share! As always, enjoy. - Devon

From Kelly:
"I make a lentil soup that is fabulous. Here's the recipe:"

1 lb regular lentils
1 cup onion, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and grated
2 tsp chicken bouillon
1 can French Onion soup
1 lb hot Jimmy Dean-type sausage
8 cups water
Black pepper to taste

Rinse and pick over the lentils. Brown the sausage in a large stewpot-typepan. Drain off any excess fat, if you like. Add the onions and carrots andsaute about 5 minutes. Add all the other ingredients and bring to a boil.

Lower heat to a gentle but definitely bubbling simmer, put the lid on, andcook for about an hour, stirring occasionally. It's even better reheated thenext day for lunch!
