Lentil soup with pasta, bacon, and garlic from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking (page 100) by Marcella Hazan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Not flashy, but excellent and better on day 2.

    I made this because I had all the ingredients on hand and didn't want to leave the house on a cold and foggy night. Wow, it was a marvelous soup!

    A really hearty and filling meal- almost too substantial to consider a soup- more like a pasta dish. I used slightly less bacon than called for and doubled the vegetables. I used beluga lentils because that is what I had on hand and they worked well because they are a firmer lentil. Would definitely make again.
