Rasa Malaysia,
I dislikes cold weather now. I do appreciate sun more!!

kyh,
I just learnt that you are vegetarian and you’re from Kedah! We are from the same state! I reckon you can still do this recipe but don’t put bacon and sausages. You can put other root vegs to make it more interesting too! I use Nikon D40 at the moment.

lk,
Thank you! I love the 3H award Very meaningful!!

tigerfish,
Where do you live at the moment? Is there no way to get sausages from delicatessen or butchery?

Erik,
Thank you! I am totally with you that sausages add so much flavour!! Thanks for the link, I will visit soup recipes

I hate cold weather, even though the winter in SoCal is so mild. I just hate sweater and jacket and all wrapped up. But soups are great for winter though.

limpepsi,
I could imagine that Norway is far more colder than the UK!
As to how long to soak the lentils – actually, I soaked mine for only 10 minutes or so. I rinsed them before. It says on the packet that I don’t have to soak but just rinse. But, I thought I wanted to speed up the cooking time by soaking the grains so that they will get soften easily.

As for Chana Dal (yellow lentils), then the soaking time could be 1 hour or more in warm water.

Anyway, try to check the packet’s instruction and see what they say. If you prefer to soak them before cooking (like me) then, soak for 10 – 15 minutes should be enough.

I love soup especially when I stay in Norway now.
This recipe is interesting. How long do you need soak lentils?

Joie de vivre,
Thank you for dropping by and your compliment! Did your father in law like lentils?

Banana blossom,
It’s my pleasure to share this! It’s definitely the kind of food I appreciate during these cold days too. I don’t think it shouldn’t be any problems to use the normal cabbage. I think that will add great sweetness to the soup!

Hello LMT,
Thanks for sharing this recipe-I enjoy hearty soup like this too in the winter. Do you think using regular cabbage is possible in place of the savoy cabbage-just in case SC is not available in my supermarket.
