I don't think I have ever had left over lentils in my fridge to date. So, I took the opportunity to try out a soup... it was screaming split pea. The nice thing was that the lentils were already cooked, so this was a very fast meal to make. I started by cooking bacon. I mean, really, why wouldn't I? After my 2 strips were nicely crisped, i drained the fat, then added the lentils into the pan and began the re-heating process. Once bubbling, I added some home made chicken stock and let the soup hangout for a bit. Eventually I took a stick blender to it with just a touch of cream. Ready to serve, garnished with parsley, Parmesan, and some big chunks of bacon.
The soup was delicious, and perfect for a cold foggy SF day. Easy tip, leftovers make a great and easy soup. Just add stock!
