Smoked lentil soup with vegan sausages
There are three dishes my grandma always cooks when I am visiting her, since I am vegan: tomato soup, swabian potato bites and roasted lentil soup. Each dish comes out without any animal product, so it's too easy for her to prepare food for me. Her roasted lentil soup doesn't even need salt and pepper! But the taste of it is amzing, cause it's roasted. This is definitely a thing!
