Lentil Soup With Andouille Sausage Food

LENTIL AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. When the olive oil is hot, but not smoking, add the onions, carrots and celery. Cook the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until the onions start to soften and become translucent. Stir frequently.
• Add the garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring almost constantly.
• Add the andouille sausage to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the lentils and chicken broth. Stir to combine the ingredients well, while gently scraping any bits off the bottom of the pot.
• Raise the heat to high and let the broth come to a boil (it will take about 5 minutes to boil). Then, lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pot.
• Cook the lentils for 25-40 minutes, or until they reach the desired tenderness. (As a reference we cooked ours for 35 minutes.) Stir occasionally and keep them at a simmer, lower or raise the heat as needed.
• Taste the lentils and add salt if needed. As a reference, we did not add extra salt to ours.
• Serve the andouille sausage lentil soup with white rice or a generous piece of bread.

CREOLE LENTIL SOUP WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a 4 to 5 quart Dutch oven or stock pot, heat the butter and olive oil until melted and shimmering.
• Add the chopped vegetables and saute until soft (5-8 minutes). Add the minced garlic and continue sauteing until fragrant.
• Scoot the vegetables to one side of the pan, and add the sausage to the cleared area. Stir the sausage pieces in place until the edges are golden (3 to 4 minutes). Mix into the vegetables.
• Scoot the sausage/vegetables to the side once again, and add a glug of oil to the cleared side. Add the tomato paste, seasonings, and a big pinch of salt to the oil, and stir to create a fragrant paste. Stir into the vegetables.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix well. The vegetables will be thick and pasty. Add a splash of broth to loosen things up. Stir for several minutes, to cook the "raw" out of the flour.
• If there is flour paste stuck to the bottom of the pot, use broth or a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan (white wine is very effective, but optional).
• Add the remaining broth, tomato sauce, tomatoes, and lentils, and bring the soup to a light boil. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid, and let the soup cook for 40 minutes. Check occasionally, stirring well through. If too thick, add a small amount of water, and continue cooking.
• When the lentils are cooked through (they should be plump and al dente but tender), turn off the heat and stir in the spinach. Taste, and add more kosher salt if needed.
