Here's a lentil soup recipe, aka Linsensuppe, you can put together quickly in the morning and come home to a delicious dinner. (This Oma just loves slow cooker soups!)
You can make it a vegan soup or add some meat such as smoked sausage. Either way -- delicious! I like adding tomatoes, a great variation on the traditional lentil soup. If you want really traditional, omit the tomatoes.
Make this with or without meat. Smoked sausage is wonderful. A slab of smoked bacon with rind is fabulous. Check out the "a bit of this and a bit of that" at the end of the recipe for so many different ways to create your own slow cooker lentil soup recipe.

I grew up with adding a spoonful of vinegar to my bowl of soup. So good!
However, my Vati's Mutti would add a spoonful of honey to her bowl. Somehow I never could try it her way. I just loved my 'vinegary' taste too much :)
Are there any other things you add to your lentil soup? Let me know!
Looking for other bean soup recipes?
How about a red lentil soup? I've got a one that's so quick to make.
Red lentils will cook in about 1/2 hour and taste much more delicate than the green or brown.
