Lentil soup with lemon, pancetta and mint from Tender: A Cook and His Vegetable Patch (page 365) by Nigel Slater

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.

    Can use Castelluccio lentils for Puy.

    A nice herb lentil soup. I never would have thought to include mint. Made it with mushroom instead of bacon/pancetta. Used sorrel instead of spinach, which added to the lemon flavor a bit.

    We really enjoyed this soup, despite the fact that I accidentally used green lentils instead of puy lentils. I imagine the original recipe is delicious!
