The ingredients for Lentil Soup are:

3 slices bacon, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 medium onion sliced
1 large carrot, sliced (about ¾ cup)
1 large celery stalk, sliced (about ¾ cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 cups water
12 oz dried lentils (about 2 cups)
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoons pepper
¼ to ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes
1 cup water
2 Tablespoons snipped parsley, or 2 teaspoons dried

Here is how you make Lentil Soup:

Fry bacon in 3 quart saucepan or Dutch oven until limp; drain on paper towels. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic to bacon fat; cook and stir over medium heat until celery is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in bacon, 4 cups of water, the lentil, bouillon cube, parsley, salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaf. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer until soup thickens, about 1 hour. Stir in tomatoes (w/liquid) and 1 cup water. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.I often add more water as needed (usually after it reaches a boil) then again as needed. The lentils absorb a lot of water and I often add more each time I reheat it. Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LCOWELL1.
