Simmer hearty soup
Start by heating some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, and cook them for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add the kielbasa, chicken broth, tomatoes, garlic, lentils, and bay leaves. Bring everything to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for around 2 hours so all the flavors can meld together. Before serving, give it a taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
