 * 1 Pound Lentils, Rinsed in a Strainer And Drained
 * 3 onions, Chopped
 * 3 carrots, Grated

 * 2 clove garlic, Cut in Half
 * 3 Cans chicken broth (10.5 Oz. Each)

salt And pepper to Taste
 * 1 T. olive oil
 * 3 Strips Bacon, Cooked Crisp, Drained And Crumbled

In a Dutch Oven, Place The First 8 Ingredients And Bring Soup to a Boil, With The Cover Slightly Ajar. Lower Heat And Simmer Soup For About 1 1/2 Hours or Until Lentils Are Tender, Adding a Little Broth if The Soup is Too Thick. Stir in The Crumbled Bacon.

Note: a Good Way to Find Your garlic in This Soup is to Spear Each Half With a Toothpick Before Adding it to The Soup.Source: With Love From Darling's Kitchen
