Lentil Soup

The sausages are optional. Also, I have two small kids, so I don't add a lot of salt and pepper to the food.

1 cup dry green lentils - picked through and washed
2 tbs olive oil
3 medium onions, chopped finaly
2 garlic teeth, crushed
2 carrots, grated
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp peper
2 tbs red wine vinegar
6 cups water or broth

Soak lentils for about 10 minutes in water. Drain well.
Heat the oil in a pot, add onions and fry until glassy-golden. Add garlic, carrots and cumin powder and fry for another minute. Add lentils. Fry for about half a minute and add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook for about 30 minutes or until lentils are cooked through.

You can add sausages towards the end just to heat them through.

Enjoy
