After having made pea and lentil soups more times than I wish to count, I finally perfected my recipe and settled with a delicious soup that I think you will enjoy as well.
Lentil Soup (with secret ingredients)
1/2 red onion
garlic, minced
1 T. olive oil
1 bag lentils (rinsed)
2 cans diced tomatoes (fire-roasted with garlic)
4 c. organic chicken broth
3 c. water
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 t. garam masala
1 t. salt
Saute onion and garlic (to taste, I used about a tablespoon) in olive oil. Once browned, add the tomatoes, salt and garam masala. Add broth and water; bring to a simmer and add lentils. Crumble bacon on top, stir well. Let simmer covered for about 45 minutes until lentils are soft.
Enjoy!!
