Norwegian Autumn Soup

A surprisingly easy-made, delicious and comforting soup when days are turning darker and colder, and you need something good to warm your body and soul. The colour of the soup reminded me of autumn leaves, therefore the name. I´d share it with you.

1 Glass Yellow And Green Lentils
2 Onions 4 Garlic Cloves 3-4 Carrots

1 small Squash

1 pack of bacon

1 small chili

Parsley

Fresh Herbs(rosemary, coriander, sage)

Chicken Bouillon Cubes

Some orange juice

water

A cinnamon stick and a bay-leaf

Boil the lentils for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, put the vegetables, fresh herbs and bacon in a food prosessor or mince it manually with a shark knife untill everything is cut into small, but not too small pieces and fry it in a large caserole together with the cinnamon stick and the bay-leaf for a few minutes. If the bacon has a lot of fat, you don´t need to add any oil or butter. Strain off the water from the lentils and put them in the caserole together with the vegetables and bacon. Add the bouillon and fresh water and let the soup boil for a few minutes to make the flavours mix. Add the orange juice in the end, and some salt or more bouillon and extra spices if you like. Bon Apetite!
