I am not a fan of soups, but sometimes the body requires something satisfying and simple. If you take red lentils, then this soup can be made in just half an hour. Cucumber pickle must be added to taste or omitted altogether. It gives the soup a sourness and piquancy. As you know, lentil soups require light acidification to fully develop the flavor. I think tomato paste will work as well.

To make lentil soup with smoked meats, we need all the products on the list.

Rinse red lentils thoroughly several times until completely clear water. You can lightly hold the lentils in water in advance, for 5-10 minutes. Bring to a boil, remove the froth and cook. It cooks very quickly, unlike any other type of lentil. Do not salt during cooking, but you can add after 10 minutes, if you like, half a meat cube or your favorite seasoning.

While the lentils are cooking, cut the sausage and meat into small pieces. I prefer fine slicing. Chop the onion finely, chop the garlic.

In a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil, fry the smoked meats until light golden.

Then add the onion and garlic. Stir, fry for 7 minutes.

Then add the grated carrots and keep on the fire for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.

The finished lentil looks like this.

Add the fry and simmer for another 3 minutes. Pour in a few tablespoons of pickled cucumber pickle, taste and salt. The acid and salt should suit you completely. The soup can be made thicker or thinner to taste.

Serve smoked-flavored lentil soup, sprinkle with herbs.

Enjoy your meal!
