4 Stalks of Celery (washed and chopped)
1 Bag Lentils (picked over and rinsed)
1 Large Can Diced Tomatoes
1 32 oz. Can of Low Sodium Chicken Broth
Salt/Pepper
In a large pot cook bacon until crisp
Remove bacon and crumble, set aside
Drain off 1/2 of bacon grease and add onion and garlic
Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes
Add in carrots and celery season with salt/pepper
Cook for about 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are softened (stirring frequently)
Add lentils and stir
Add tomatoes and chicken broth
Re-season with salt/pepper
