Smoky bacon and red lentil
Loading up your soup with lentils gives it extra filling power and it’s perfect for a snuggly lunch or supper. Slimming World Consultant Scott (@slimmingworld_scott) bubbled up this beautiful broth and added smoky bacon for a fab flavour boost. He says:
“As it’s so cold today, it’s a soup day! My red lentil and bacon soup is so quick to make. Here’s how:
Fry 1 large onion and a large carrot, both chopped, with 4 smoked bacon medallions (visible fat removed to make it Free) until the onions are soft. Then add half a mug of dried red lentils, 1 tub passata, 1 pint hot chicken stock, 1 level tbsp smoked paprika, a good squirt of tomato purée and season to taste. Bring it all to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes.”
