Directions

• Prepare the lentils for cooking. Originally this meant soaking them overnight, but most varieties today do not need to be soaked.
• Dice the onion and chop the vegetables into small cubes
• Bring the lentils to a boil in the water and broth, and add the vegetables
• Simmer for about 30 minutes until the vegetables and lentils are soft. Add more water if necessary
• On the side, cut the bacon into small pieces and fry until almost crispy, then add back to the lentil soup when ready
• When the lentils have reached the desired level of softness, add the vinegar to stop the cooking and season with salt, pepper, and sugar
• With each serving, add a Frankfurter on top, or cut the sausages up and add them directly into the soup
