"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Clean lentils well. Place in large soup kettle. Add 1½ qts water. Salt and pepper to taste. Add onions, celery, potatoes, sausage. Bring to a boil, then simmer a couple of hours until lentils are cooked. A little water may have to be added if it is too thick. Stir often as soup may scorch. Remove from burner. Stir in sour cream. Add the vinegar and more sour cream just before serving.

Mom gave this recipe to me soon after Bruce and I were married. It has always been one of my favorites. Of course, Mom used real cream. I have adapted the recipe using lite sour cream. I put the vinegar on the table as Bruce loves more. It is never sour enough for him; he also likes a lot of black pepper.

This recipe is from "Lutheran Hospitality," Iowa Falls, IA: General Publishing & Binding, Inc.,, 1980.
