Steps:
- Place lentils in a soup pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until lentils are soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Season with salt during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Add onion; saute until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cilantro; cook until tomatoes change color, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture over cooked lentils. Bring to a boil and cook until flavors blend, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve with banana slices.

[email protected]I was so excited to try this soup, but I was disappointed. The soup was too thin and the lentils were mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less water and cooked the lentils for a shorter period of time.
