Cannabis Bacon Lentil Soup

Ingredients

• 250 g 8.8 oz Red or brown lentils
• 150 g 5.3 oz Smoked bacon (diced)
• 2 piece 2 piece Carrots
• 2 piece 2 piece Celery stalks
• 1 piece 1 piece Onion
• 3 cloves 3 cloves Garlic
• 30 g 1.1 oz Cannabutter
• 900 ml 3.8 cups Beef or vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tsp 1 tsp Smoked paprika powder
• 1 tsp 1 tsp Marjoram (dried)
• 1 tbsp 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
• 1 tsp 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 piece 4 piece Sausages (optional, sliced)

Instructions

1. 1
   Render bacon cubes in a pot over medium heat without added fat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
2. 2
   Melt cannabutter in the bacon fat. Sauté onions, carrots, and celery for 4 minutes.
3. 3
   Add garlic and tomato paste, roast for 2 minutes while stirring.
4. 4
   Stir in lentils. Add paprika powder and marjoram.
5. 5
   Pour in broth, bring to boil. Simmer over low heat 30–35 minutes until lentils are soft.
6. 6
   Puree about one-third of the soup with immersion blender — creates perfect creamy-chunky consistency.
7. 7
   Stir in vinegar — this lifts all flavors. Add bacon back to soup. Heat sausages (if desired) in soup.
8. 8
   Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve with bread and a dollop of sour cream.

Pro Tips

• The vinegar boost at the end is the secret — without it, lentil soup tastes flat.
• Red lentils cook faster (20 min) and provide more body. Brown lentils (35 min) stay firmer.
• Without bacon, it's a complete vegan soup — just use vegetable broth and a bit more smoked paprika.
