Leek and Green Lentil Soup image

A tasty and filling soup. You could make many alterations to the recipe depending on your taste - add a potato for soup a little thicker, substitute barley for some of the lentils, add a stick of celery. The miso paste is optional but it adds flavour without having to add too much salt and pepper.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more broth or water.

The lentils in this soup were a bit overcooked for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

I added a bit of chopped bacon to this soup and it was amazing. The smokiness of the bacon really enhanced the flavor of the soup.
