Slow Cooked High Protein Lentil Soup with Bratwurst Sausage

Compared from other type of beans, lentil is really easy to prepare. It is quick to absorb flavors from other foods surrounding it, so it can be a very tasty meal. Lentil is also very high in nutritional value particularly protein.

I have not seen lentils in the Philippines but we have what we call Mung Beans ( Monggo) . Although we have a lot of Asian stores here in our new place, they do not carry Mung Beans, so whenever we crave Mung Beans soup, we replace it with Lentil soup instead. Sometimes, we cook our Lentil soup with left over fish, pork or dried fish. You can make it versatile as far as your imagination will allow you.

Today, I am sharing with you this Slow Cooked High Protein Lentil Soup with Bratwurst Sausage. I usually cook our Lentils in a slow cooker and today is no different. I prepare it in the morning and after 3 to four hours, it almost ready. I usually prepare a lot of this soup and freeze it so that we can enjoy it for a long time.
