Lentil Soup

This recipe also works for pea soup, either green (my favorite) or yellow.


1 bag lentils, looked and rinsed,
2 quarts cold water,
1 tsp salt (to taste),
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (to taste),
1/4 stick butter or good margarine,
1 medium to large diced sweet onion,
1 large carrot, grated,
2 to 3 pieces diced bacon or 3 to 4 kosher franks, sliced thin, or 1 hand sized piece smoked or baked ham diced about 1/2" squares.


Bring to a slow boil after all ingredients are added to pot. Stir well and often. Add liquid as necessary. Lentils cook quickly. Follow directions for cooking time from package. It really depends on the type, size, and color. I use the brown ones.

Soup will thicken as it cooks, in fact will make almost a puree. Continue to add water to the thickness you like. Serve with Corn Bread or hot hard rolls, salad, fruit for dessert. Just really filling and tasteful.

Any that is left over will have to be re-thinned before re-serving as it will become quite thick.
