Wine Pairings
A meal in itself. The addition of some smoked turkey gives this soup a flavor that can’t be beat! Purchase smoked turkey breast already cooked; it freezes well.

2 cups (510g) lentils, uncooked
10 cups (2.5L) water
1 medium onion, chopped

2 stalks celery
2 medium red potatoes, cut in chunks
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp (1g) dried sage

Directions
Combine all ingredients except turkey breast in a large soup pot.
