Yesterday I made a BIG Crock Pot of Lintel Soup. No recipe. I just threw in what I wanted.

1 chopped medium yellow onion- saute to carmelize
2 carrots cut into small pieces - add to onions after they are slightly carmelized
2-3 small stalks of celery cut into small pieces - add to saute
2 tablespoons of minced garlic - add
Salt & pepper to taste

After above has sauted for a while, throw in crockpot

Then I added 3 fair sized yellow potatoes cut in small pieces
Add little smokies. Beef or pork. I like pork cut in small pieces. However many you want
1 package of lintels 16oz washed
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can salsa tomatoes. If don't have add a few pepper flacks and another can of chopped tomatoes
2 cans of low sodium chicken broth
2 cans of water

You may have to adjust the amout of liquid so as to not overfill your crockpot.
Salt and pepper some more to taste.
I cooked on high for 7 to 8 hours as my lintels were a bit crunchy before then.

Whoa that looks good, Spunky!

It looks like a lot to finish - hope you can freeze some of it.

Looks delicious. I think the Smoky flavor from the sausage is a great idea, and I’m surprised but I think lentil soup always needs tomatoes. It just doesn’t taste the same without them. Thanks for posting!

to relate this recipe to prepping -

I think soups will be a great way to go. They will require some time chopping up things, but it can easily cook all day with minimum supervision. With vegetables, meat, carbohydrates added, you can have all your nutritional requirements in just one bowl. Soups can also be filling, which we might be needing if calories are at a premium. Soup and a piece of bread make a great meal. You can also add any leftover vegetables or meat or starches from another meal, so nothing goes to waste.
