Ingredients
  • 1 cup dried lentils rinsed

  • 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 thick bacon strips coarsely chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 Banana sliced into thin rounds - for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove half the fat rendered, then add Molli Morelos cooking sauce and cook for 3 minutes.
  2. Add chicken or vegetable broth and dried lentils and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until lentils are tender about 40 minutes.

  4. Ladle lentil soup into bowls. Top each serving with 2/3 banana rounds. Provecho!
Recipe Notes

Can be made 1 day ahead. The soup may thicken as it sits; thin with a bit of water if necessary. Make it vegan by removing bacon and using vegetable broth. It will taste equally delicious!
