Rachael Ray's Hungarian Sausage and Lentil Stoup

"From Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals, this is a great hearty meal - thicker than a soup, thinner than a stew. The ingredients are very flexible. Try sweet sausage instead of hot, split peas instead of lentils, or broccoli cuts, chard or kale instead of spinach. (In fact, the original recipe calls for kale or chard, but I can't get the computer to recognize the measurements for either!) The two pot method can be used to create a long-simmered taste in very little time, or you can just make it all in one pot and simmer a little longer. It also freezes beautifully. Serve with a hearty bread for a complete meal."

directions

  • In a medium sized pot, simmer lentils in chicken stock.
  • In a second pot, sauté sausage in olive oil.
  • Add garlic, onions and mushrooms to the sausage. Cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add carrots, lentils, potato, salt and pepper, bay leaf, paprika (or substitute mixture) and rosemary to sausage pot. Don't worry about the woody rosemary stems - the leaves will fall off as it cooks.
  • Add tomatoes to sausage pot. Bring to a good rolling boil and boil for 15 minutes.
  • Combine the two pots.
  • Wilt the greens in and remove the rosemary stems. Let sit 5 minutes off the heat before serving.

  1. Easy and great fast recipe. I used mild Italian sausage and Hungarian sweet paprika. I omitted the mushrooms. Served with Asiago Cheese Bread and it was a hit with the family.
     
  2. Made this hearty soup for a group of friends, they all loved it. I highly recommend it as tasty comfort food on a cold evening.
     
  3. This was really very good. I made it exactly as posted, but found it really was too thick, so I added more broth to give it a more soup-like consistency. However, it is quite tasty and very filling, and I will certainly be glad to make it again.
     
  4. I have used this recipe since the original episode aired. Its fantastic and converts nicely to vegetarian as well. However, the original recipe calls for several cups of fresh kale or chard instead of the frozen spinach which I feel would be way better.
     
  5. Sorry to say, it may taste great, but have nothing to do with hungarian lentils.
