Filling and warming farmhouse soup, perfect for winter. Blend it even more and it makes perfect baby food too - but don't let that put you off.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
- 100g - 400g Bacon bits / diced cooking bacon (quantity to taste)
- 1 x Small/medium Swede
- 100g - 200g Red or yellow lentils (quantity to taste)
- 2-3 x Medium carrots
- 1 x Large onions
Preparation
1. Roughly peel and chop everything.
2. Little oil in large pan / soup tureen. Fry bacon + onions for 5 mins
3. All the other ingredients + salt/pepper to taste. *Just* cover with boiling water.
