My Omas Lentil Soup

---

This is one of my all time favorite soups. It is thick and hearty. it is a recipe that i grew up with. you can tinker around with it, but i have always loved that it is so simple. i have guessed at the prep time and cooking time as the soup can simmer for a while after it is done. can omit wurst and sub vegetable broth for chicken if you want to make it vegetarian.
