German Lentil SoupLinsensuppe mit SpaetzleIf liked the thickness of the soup can be adjusted by adding broth.My recipe is with Spaetzle, but you can serve it with German style frankfurter sausages (Würst). These can either be cubed, sliced or served whole in the soup. If you are using dried lentils, then soak these over night without salt to soften. They will need to be added to the pan with some soup broth and cooked for 15 mins or as packet instructions.
Ingredientshomemade Spaetzle30g butter 1/2 tsp sugar 3 dessert spoons flour 1 tin lentils (400g) or dried water or broth 50g smoked ham 1 dessert spoon oil Heat the butter in a large pan. Add the sugar and flour and heat through until light brown and smooth. Pour in the water from the tin of lentils and heat through for at least 15 mins. If necessary add more water or broth. If using dried lentils, they will need to be cooked at this stage. Then add the lentils and the Spaetzle and heat through for 1 minute. Finally fry the cubed ham in oil until brown and then sprinkle over the soup. Add salt and vinegar to taste. Click on the link below for my Spaetzle recipe.
