A friend and I used to love to meet for lunch on Mondays to enjoy a bowl of bacon lentil soup and a slice of the restaurant's famous cheesecake.
So, when times changed and our visits didn't often occur on Mondays, I started searching for a way to make that tasty soup at home. This is what I came up with.
Several slices of bacon chopped into small pieces ( or some leftover Easter ham)
2 cups chopped onion
2 carrots diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced or equivalent of garlic powder
12 cups of chicken broth. I used homemade. You could use bouillon cubes.
1/2 Tbs. Thyme
1/2 tsp. ground celery
1 1/2 c. Lentils. (As they cook they will be absorbing some of that broth)
Put all ingredients in your crockpot and cook overnight or all day.
Enjoy.
