Lentil and Bacon Soup

Like most people at this time of year, Stephen and I have been pretty busy and continue to be so until well into the new year. With not a lot of time to devote to thinking about food, inspiration deserts us and planning meals becomes more of a chore than a pleasure.

Today’s dinner was mostly put together from things we already had with just a little fresh cabbage thrown in at the end. Not particularly exciting and certainly not inventive but it warmed us up and left us feeling full.

This was a Delia recipe which I followed almost exactly, just adjusting the quantities slightly. I don’t have much luck with soup so thought it safest to stick to a recipe. While it was good just as it was, a little chilli would have worked too.
