Recipe - Robust Lentil Soup

*** NON NE *****

As a hearty supper for 4, simmer 2 cups (about 12 ounces) lentils in 8 cups
water with 3 chopped bacon slices until the lentils are very tender and
beginning to fall apart and the broth is thikening a bit (allow 30 to 45
minutes). Stir in as much of the Adobo de Chile Pasilla as you like (since
its pretty picante, I'd start with One fourth to 1/3 cup), 2 large chopped
tomatoes and 6 chopped green onions. Simmer 15 mintues, season with salt
and 1/3 cup chopped cilantro (or a couple of tablespoons of chopped thyme
or slightly less rosemary). Serve in big bowls topped with a little more
chopped tomato and herbs
