Lentil Soup with Smoked Sausage

I found this recipe on Kraftfoods.com, but it called for hot dogs in it. (gross) My mom would call them 'wieners.' (Also gross but for a different reason.) Not that I hate hot dogs, but I only like them grilled. NOT BOILED! Anyway, I basically followed the recipe with the exception of the smoked sausage, and I also added some curry for flavor. You could add more curry if you want the soup to be spicier. Jake and I loved this soup. It was pretty easy to make, smelled good, and tasted good too. Fax, Brook, and Summer ate theirs but said it would have been better without the lentils. But one of the reasons I like this recipe so much is that lentils are SO GOOD for you! A mere 1/4 cup (uncooked) has 11 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein. Not to mention how cheap they are. So let me know if you try this recipe and what you think of it.

Ingredients:
6 slices Bacon, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
Smoked Sausage, cut in half lengthwise & sliced
1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 tsp.)
4 cans (15 oz) chicken broth
1/2 lb. lentils, sorted & washed
2 carrots (1/4 lb.), chopped
1/2 lb. red potatoes, chopped
1 tsp. curry powder
1/2 cup Sour Cream

Directions:
Cook bacon and onions in large saucepan 5 to 6 min. Add smoked sausage and stir occasionally for about 5 more minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 min.
Add next 5 ingredients; stir. Bring to boil; simmer on medium to low heat about 40 min. or until lentils and vegetables are tender. (If you like more broth, you can cover the soup. If you like less broth, leave the lid off.)
Stir in sour cream, if desired.

I'm using the picture from Kraftfoods. Mine looked basically the same, but it was slightly more yellow from the curry and, of course, no wieners. ~And I forgot to take a picture.
