How to Make Lentil Soup with Kielbasa
- 1Heat olive oil. Add onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent.
- 2Add remaining ingredients except for the balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil.
- 3Turn heat down and simmer covered until lentils are cooked through and carrots are tender. If the soup gets too thick add a cup of water or stock. I always use stock.
