Ingredients
2 slices bacon, diced (see post above for vegan option)
Cook the bacon in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the onion and garlic in the bacon in the bacon drippings until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cumin and saute for 1 minute.
Add the lentils, broth, potatoes, carrots and green beans and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Ladle the soup into two bowls and top with the bacon to serve.
