French style lentil and bacon soup made last night, just popped the slow cooker on when I went out to work. Using brown lentils (green is fine too) as they keep their shape.
What makes it French style? Using a mirepoix (finely chopped carrot, onion and celery, sautéed for 10 mins) as the base, and adding a can of chopped tomatoes and 3x crushed cloves of garlic, bay leaf and a big pinch of dried thyme, plenty of black pepper. Then in goes a litre of veg or chicken broth.
I tend to use at least half a pack of streaky bacon, cut quite finely, which goes into the mirepoix after it’s been sautéing for about 5mins.
Will add some piccies tonight. [emoji4]

Dont think the Italians eat them with pasta. Quite like mine with French fries too.
