Make up a big pot of this comforting Bacon and Lentil Soup<\/strong> today - it's hearty, filling and perfect for a cold winter's day.

I always keep lentils in my pantry because they are great for bulking out soups without needing lots of expensive or complicated ingredients. Brown lentils work perfectly in this recipe as they keep a little bite and make it feel like a proper meal in a bowl. It's also great for freezing, so you can enjoy a cosy, homemade bowl of soup whenever you need something warming and delicious.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
