1. Fry up some bacon and put it to one side.
2. Saute onion and celery in the bacon fat.
3. Wash lentils and add them, along with water or chicken stock. Crumble the bacon and add that too.
4. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer for several hours.
Or, you can open a can of Progresso which is pretty decent.
Progresso is exactly what I’ve been trying to copy! It was my introduction to Lentil Soup.
So many recipes are all goofed-up with extraneous stuff.
Thanks!
