Basque Chorizo And Lentil Soup

I found this web on the net recently (i was on a basque kick). I have not tried it out yet, but i am sucker for anything with lentils.

Place the lentils in a large soup pot.

Add enough cold water to cover them by 3 inches.

Bring the lentils and water to a boil over medium-high heat , reduce the heat to low , and add the whole sausages and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.

Cook the lentils for about 45 minutes.

Add the potatoes , carrots , onions and green and red peppers , and cook for about 20 minutes longer , until the vegetables are fork-tender.

Cut each chorizo in half , and serve 1 piece to a bowl.

Season to taste with salt , and serve.
