Lentil Soup - 1

One of my favorite programs is 'Take good care of the fridge'.
This cooking show teaches me how to cook delicious food with simple ingredients I can find in my fridge. 
For every episode, a celebrity is invited with their own fridge, and the chef cooks with the ingredients from the celebrity guests' fridges. Ordinary ingredients turn into a great dish  in just 15 minutes.  It's so amazing!
Sometimes I would like to say 'Please take good care of my fridge!'  Ha ha ha...
This week, one of the chefs cooked lentil soup with simple ingredients.  Just follow the chef's recipe. I made the lentil soup.
The lentil soup was comforting, healthy, simple, and easy to make.

Ingredients

1 C                  lentils
1/2                   carrot
2-3 strips         bacon
1                      bell pepper
1                      green onion
2 cloves           garlic
4                      tomatoes (tomatoes on the vine from Trader Joe's)
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Boil soaked lentils. Save 1 C of water the lentils were boiled in.
Cut carrot, green onions and bell pepper into small pieces and set aside.
Fry bacon and chop into small pieces. 
Leave 1-2 T bacon grease in the pan then stir fry carrot, green onion and bell pepper.
Blanch the tomatoes and remove skin.
Add the saved cup of water from the lentils and minced garlic to the pan of stir fried vegetables and simmer for a few minutes.
