Preparation steps

1.

Rinse and peel carrots. Rinse and trim celery and soup vegetables. Dice all vegetables into small cubes. Rinse lentils in cold water and drain. Put all into a pot with broth and season with bay leaves and thyme. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 20 minutes.

2.

Meanwhile, fry bacon in a nonstick pan until crispy. When lentils are tender, remove bay leaf and puree the soup. Add lemon zest and tomato paste to the lentil soup and continue to cook covered.

Season with balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and 1 pinch of sugar to desired taste. To serve, fill warmed bowls with soup, garnish each with a slice of bacon and sprinkle with thyme.
