Introduction

This was supposed to be a side dish that i found in CL - but i didn't have all of the ingredient, or enough of them... But it turned into a pretty good soup!

Ingredients

    5 cups water
    2 cups chopped onion
    3 Cheddar Wurst Sausage (or 2 cups of ham or sausage or whatever)
    1 cup diced carrot
    1 tsp rosemary
    1/4 tsp pepper
    3/4 lb of dried lentils (would work find with a whole pound)
    1 can fat free beef broth
    2 garlic cloves (could use more)
    1-2 bay leaves
    3/4 cup barley

Directions

Combine water thru bay leaf in a crock pot.
Cover with lid, cook on high for 3 hours or until lentils are tender.
Add in the barley and turn to low for 1/2 an hour.
Discard bay leaf.
Take a portion of the mixture and blend it in a blender (of if you have a hand wand use that - i so wish i had one!). I did some of the sausage, too, but tried to leave those in chunks in the pot.

It ends up with the consistency of pea soup!

I let it sit on low for a total of 6 hours to make it thicker.
