German Lentil Soup

Ingredients (use vegan versions): 500 g dried lentils (small green Puy lentils are best) 3 medium potatoes 3-4 medium carrots 1/2 celeriac 1 stalk leek 1 small parsley root 3 dried laurel leaves vegetable oil 1 1/2 litres vegetable stock
with some vegan red wine mixed in tomato paste (optional) pepper, soy sauce, vegan sugar, vegan red wine vinegar Directions: Dice potatoes, carrots, celeriac and parsley root into fairly small cubes (about 1 cm). Cut leek in 1 cm rings. Saut? the veggies in vegetable oil. Add lentils and vegetable stock (note: lentils should be well covered!), season with soy sauce, pepper, and some vegan sugar (I use at least one teaspoonful). Add the laurel leaves and cook. In a pressure cooker, this takes about 20 minutes. When cooked, take out the laurel leaves and discard them, add the vinegar (to taste) and tomato paste if desired. This is a variation of a traditional German recipe. If you want to be traditional you can serve this with a vegetarian sausage - but it is nice by itself, and particularly good for a cold winter day.
