How To Make linsensuppe rezept (lentil recipe)

• Step 1
  Go through the lentils and discard any debris or shriveled seeds. Rinse, cover with water and soak for two hours.
• Step 2
  Drain the lentils, add fresh water to 1/4-inch above the lentils, bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
• Step 3
  Mix 1 Tbsp. soft butter with 1 Tbsp. flour until it forms a paste and add it to the lentils. Stir the pot until the Beurre Manie has dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble. (Beurre Manie is like a roux, used to thicken.)
• Step 4
  Simmer for another 20 minutes or until the lentils are soft but not falling apart. Add the sugar and the salt and vinegar to taste.
• Step 5
  The lentils should taste sweet-sour. Serve with fried or pickled eggs.
• Step 6
  Note: German cooks prefer the unhulled type of lentils, which require soaking. If all you can find is the hulled variety, you will not need to presoak.
