Directions
Lightly heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, and cook them for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften. Next, add the sliced kielbasa, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, garlic, lentils, and a couple of bay leaves. Bring everything up to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about two hours. Once the lentils are tender and the flavors have melded together, taste the stew and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
