- Add a little oil to a cooking pot on a high heat, add bacon, onion and garlic and fry until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add lentils, reduce heat and fry for a few minutes more.
- Next add chicken stock followed by all the other ingredients. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer with a lid on for 40 minutes stirring occasionally.
- After 40 minutes check to see if the lentils are soft and the soup has thickened. If not cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes. If the soup is too thick add more stock or water, and if you would like it thicker add a little instant potato to thicken. Serve with fresh crusty bread and butter.

Lovely soup, have made it twice now and will be making again. Has convinced my husband that a bowl of homemade soup and crusty bread is a meal in itself and not just a snack! - 29 Jan 2015
