German Lentil Soup (linsensuppe)
  1. Wash, dry and trim the vegetables. Small dice the carrots, celery and onion. Medium dice the potatoes.

  2. Rinse the lentils in a mesh strainer and set aside.

  3. In a large stock pot, melt the butter and over medium heat and add the cut up vegetables and potatoes. Cook for 5ish minutes without stirring too much.

  4. Add the lentils, broth and bay leaf and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil, then turn to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.

  5. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, sugar and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  6. If you would like to add the Wiener sausages, you could either slice them up and at them at this point to simply warm up (they're already cooked). Or you can warm them separately in a pot of water (do not boil or the skin will crack).

  7. Serve and garnish with fresh parsley and some good bread such as my German rye sourdough. Guten Appetit!
