Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, 1 pack of pancetta and the carrot. Cook on a low to medium heat for 10 minutes until the onions are soft.
- Add the cumin, turmeric, garlic and chilli and cook for a further 1 - 2 minutes until the aromas are released.
- Pour in 1.25 litres of boiling water, crumble in the stock cubes and add the lentils. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally to ensure the lentils aren't sticking.
- Meanwhile, fry the remaining lardons in a small frying pan for about 10 minutes until crispy. You don't need to add any oil as plenty will run from the pancetta.
- Serve the soup with a sprinkle of crispy lardons on top.

COMPLEX AND CREAMY LENTIL & BACON SOUP
I wanted to do a lentil bacon soup but I had the idea of something smooth. I took a basic sauce and blended it in with some vegetables, stock and spices. Actually I don't know if this has been done before...Anyway; the result, a weird recipe yet delicious. At least is what I thought when coming for the second plate...Now, it has nice little flavour surprises that release in your mouth when you start to taste. Instead of stock cube, you can use your own stock or bouillon, the idea is to give some background to the flavour. At the end, you can always add as much bacon as you want. Is my first recipe, and I hope you will enjoy it as I did. Salud!

Steps:
- Chop onion and garlic finely. Saute -medium heat- in olive oil for 5 minutes. If it starts to burn, sprinkle some water.
- Add the cumin to the onion. Saute for 2 more minutes.
- Apart, in a deep pan, put the lentils with the water and bring to boil. Boil vigorously for 10 minutes.
