You can easily and quickly recreate Grandma's traditional lentil soup true to the original.
Paired with crunchy Vienna sausages and a piece of bread, the classic is always well received.
Even in January, when the days remain cloudy and gray and the temperatures don't rise above zero, many people like to warm themselves up with nutritious soups and stews.
Among other things, you can find numerous soup recipes for classics, such as grandma's easy potato stew with sausage and bacon or a traditional Italian minestrone, on the Internet.

It's so easy to recreate grandma's tried and tested lentil soup:
First, peel the onion.
Finely dice the onion and bacon and fry in a little oil in a large pot over a medium heat until translucent.
Wash or peel the greens and potatoes.
While the carrots, potatoes and celery are finely diced, cut the leek into thin slices.
The soup greens are then added to the pot and fried.
The potatoes are added to the fried soup greens together with the previously rinsed lentils and the mixed broth.
Cover and simmer everything over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
The soup is then seasoned with cumin, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper.
Cut the sausages into slices and let them warm in the soup for a few minutes.
Optionally serve with some fresh parsley.
Bon appetit!
Grandma's classic lentil soup is particularly popular on New Year's Eve due to a certain custom in Italy, just like here in Germany.
