    1. Cook bacon and garlic. Drain the fat thoroughly. Return the mixture to your stock pot.
    2. Add remaining ingredients.
    3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or until the lentils are soft but firm. If you want a creamy texture, puree half the soup in a blender and return to the pot.

    This wasn’t good. I didn’t add bacon due to my diet but regardless it wasn’t good. I’m gonna drain the water and just mix in bbq sauce.

    Good food, added a habanero without seeds. Substituted snort bacon for turkey. Gotta say that the recipe and instructions were a little on the wrong side of ok. No mention of onion in list...apart for garlic/celery...but in instructions said ad onion(so I did) But it’s frustrating for novice kitchen warriors 🤬 Also, no mention of amount of bay leaves or basil, or if it’s fresh or dried....

    TERRIBLE INGREDIENT LIST: HOW MUCH ONION? BASIL? BAY LEAF? LEMON JUICE? TERRIBLE COOKING DIRECTIONS: SIMMER? ABOUT HOW LONG?
