5 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice
6 fresh sage leaves, minced, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 cups red lentils

  • To serve, divide the hot soup among four soup plates, and garnish with the reserved bacon and additional sage.
