How To Make lentil soup

  • 1
    Cook bacon and onions in large saucepan 8 to 10 minutes or until bacon is crisp and onions are crisp tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 1 minute.
  • 2
    Add next five ingredients; stir. Bring to a boil; simmer 25 to 30 minutes; or until lentils and vegetables are tender.
  • 3
    When serving, top with sour cream.
  • 4
    Before using lentils, place in a colander and rinse thoroughly. Discard any shriveled lentils or bits of dirt. Unlike beans, lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking.
  • 5
    Make ahead: soup can be prepared ahead of time. Cool, then freeze up to 1 month. When ready to serve, transfer frozen block of soup to large saucepan; cover. Cook on low heat until thawed. Bring to boil on medium heat, then simmer on low heat 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
