  • 2 green bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-in. dice
  • 1 serrano chile, stemmed, halved lengthwise, and cut into thin half-moons
  • 6 cups Bar Tartine Chicken Broth or storebought reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 25 peeled Black Garlic cloves, homemade or storebought, or use roasted regular garlic*
  • 8 dried arbol chiles or 1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
  • 3 ripe medium-size tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
  • 4 cups Sprouted Black Lentils or 1 3/4 cups regular dried black lentils
  • 12 ounces dry-cured paprika sausage, such as Hungarian gyulai* or Spanish chorizo, or pepperoni
  • 12 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 12 ounces button mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 to 2 tbsp. hot Hungarian paprika
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, cut into 1-in. chunks
  • Sour cream, chopped green onions, and chopped fresh cilantro, for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat a large cast-iron frying pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water flicked on the surface sizzles. Melt lard in pan and add onion, bell peppers, and serrano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are well charred on the edges but not blackened, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then chop coarsely.
  2. In a blender, combine 2 cups broth, the black garlic, and arbol chiles. Purée until smooth.
  3. Cut sausage into quarters lengthwise, then thickly crosswise. Put in a large pot and add black garlic purée, remaining 4 cups broth, tomatoes, lentils, garlic, mushrooms, and bay leaves. Bring almost to a simmer over medium heat, covered (do not let boil). Add paprika, peppers, and charred vegetables and simmer gently, covered, until lentils begin to fall apart and thicken the soup, about 20 minutes more. Discard bay leaves. Stir in vinegar and salt, and season to taste with black pepper.
  4. Ladle soup into bowls and top each with sour cream, green onions, and cilantro.
