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.

LENTIL AND BACON SOUP
A hearty, healthy soup that all the family will love - and you can keep it for up to three months frozen, too. Just reheat it when you need a quick supper! Add a pinch of parika if you like for extra flavor. To save time (and washing up), this soup needn't be pureed, but can be left slightly chunky - just make sure it's cooked for long enough, so that the lentils are very tender. If the soup isn't going to be pureed, ensure that both the bacon and onion are finely chopped. To freeze, leave the soup to cool, pack into freezer containers, cover, seal and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow the soup to defrost before reheating.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add the bacon, onion and carrots and cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes, or until the bacon has started to turn golden and the vegetables have softened. Add the lentils to the pan and stir well. Add the chopped tomatoes and 2 pints boiling water, and stir in stock cube. Bring to the boil, cover, and then simmer the soup gently for about 1 hour, or until the lentils and vegetables are tender.
- Remove the pan from the heat and leave the soup to cool slightly. Purée the soup with the parsley, and add seasoning to taste. If the soup is too thick, a little extra boiling water can be added.
- Reheat the soup for serving in mugs, with crusty bread.

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!

LENTIL AND BACON SOUP
A hearty, warming soup, perfect for a cold winter's night. Serve with warm, crusty bread for a complete meal. I use beef stock, but chicken or vegetable stock will do. I find it unnecessary to add salt, as the bacon and rookwurst are salty enough, but you may if you wish. If you can't obtain Dutch Rookworst, try substituting Kielbasa or Polish Sausage, but it won't be the same :-( Split red lentils can be used in place of the mung dal. Adapted from "400 Best Ever Soups".

Steps:
- Slice bacon into 1-inch pieces. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a 4-quart Dutch oven or saucepan. Add the bacon and cook till crispy, 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the leek in half reserving the light green part (discard or use the dark upper stem for another use such as stock). Slice lengthwise, then thinly slice into thin half-moon rounds. Set aside. Peel and slice the carrots. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then dice. Set aside. Trim celery then cut in quarter strips, lengthwise and dice.
- Drain the bacon on paper towels and pour off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat (save the bacon fat by pouring into a room-temp glass and keep in the fridge). Add leeks, carrots, celery, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir then sweat over low heat until vegetables are tender, 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, use a knife to remove the ginger peel. Cut ginger in half, then thinly slice into sheets, then matchsticks and finely chop. Add to the pot. Peel and dice garlic and add to the pot.
- When the vegetables are soft and lightly caramelized, add cumin. Toast in the skillet for 30 seconds. Add lentils, black pepper, chicken stock, and apple cider. Cover, turn up heat to medium and bring to a heavy simmer, 5 minutes. Reduce to a low simmer and cook 30 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering chop the apples by slicing around the core in thin rounds, then matchsticks and finally a small dice. Remove rosemary needles from stem by holding the sprig at the top, then sliding your fingers down to the bottom stripping off the needles. Bunch needles together and mince. When the soup is "soupy," stir in the apples and rosemary and cook 2-3 additional minutes.
- Taste soup and add salt if necessary. Serve in individual bowls. Garnish with a drizzle of buttermilk and a sprinkle of bacon.
