    • 🌭 2 links Spanish chorizo sausage, casing removed, chopped

  • Cooking essentials

    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 onion, chopped

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it starts to brown slightly, 5 to 8 minutes.

2

Add olive oil, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

3

Stir in garlic, tomatoes, sausage, and bay leaf; cook for about 4 minutes.

4

Add lentils and water, ensuring water is about an inch deeper than the lentils. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer uncovered until lentils are just cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.

5

Add potatoes to the soup and continue simmering until potatoes are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
