Sopa de Lentejas (Andalucian Lentil Soup)

Sopa de Lentejas (Andalucian Lentil Soup)
  • 1 1/4 cups dry brown lentils, soaked overnight and drained
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 links Spanish chorizo sausage, casing removed, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cups water, or as needed
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed


  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the bacon just until it starts to brown a bit, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the olive oil, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, sausage, and bay leaf; cook about 4 minutes. Add lentils and water (water should be about an inch deeper than the level of the lentils). Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Put the potatoes into the soup and continue simmering until potatoes are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
