Ingredients

3 Tbsp olive oil
3 carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, large, diced
1 pkg kielbasa, diced
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 c beef stock
1 lb lentils, dry, rinsed
1 can(s) crushed tomatoes, 28 ounces
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 1/2 - 3 tsp balsamic vinegar (takes it from a good soup to a wonderful soup..don't skip it)
1 tsp pepper
salt to taste

Steps:

1. Heat olive oil. Add onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent.
2. Add remaining ingredients except for the balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil.
3. Turn heat down and simmer covered until lentils are cooked through and carrots are tender. If the soup gets too thick add a cup of water or stock. I always use stock.
4. Turn off heat, add balsamic vinegar and stir in well.
5. Serve with french bread and butter. Enjoy!!
