Instructions: Heat olive oil in soup pot. Cook the onion, carrot and garlic in the olive oil for 5 minutes or until soft and lightly browned. Add lentils, potato, corn, bay leaves, cumin, stock and salt and pepper and cook for 35-40 minutes or until lentils and potatoes are soft. Add the sausage pieces and simmer about 15-20 minutes more until you achieve the desired taste. If you want soup thats more appropriate for a first course, omit the sausages and add 4 pieces of crumbled bacon with the lentils.

Makes 6 servings.
