Here is an almost effortless soup that will taste even better the day after it's made.
January 2007
- 1 pound French green lentils (about 2 1/2 cups), picked over and rinsed
- 10 oz mushrooms, chopped (about 4 cups)
- 3 medium onions, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup chopped carrot
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 (3- to 4-inch) cinnamon stick
- 1 Turkish or California bay leaf
- 3 1/2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth (28 fl oz)
- 2 quarts water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 1/2 oz Spanish chorizo (cured spiced pork sausage), casing removed and sausage thinly sliced (1 cup)
-
Simmer all ingredients except chorizo in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 hours. Discard cinnamon stick and bay leaf, then stir in chorizo and gently simmer 5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Cooks' note: Soup can be made 4 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
