How To Make lentil soup

Step 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.

Step 2

Add next five ingredients; stir. Bring to a boil; simmer 25 to 30 minutes; or until lentils and vegetables are tender.
Step 3

When serving, top with sour cream.
Step 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.
Step 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.
