Sauté the vegetables

In a pot, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until the onion becomes translucent. Add the carrot and stir-fry well, letting it absorb the flavors for about 2 minutes. Add the chili, mustard, tomatoes, lentils, and bacon. Add the water and cook for about 20 minutes.

Blend into a thick soup

Remove a small amount of water and blend the ingredients into a purée until you reach the desired consistency. If needed, gradually add back the reserved water. Season with salt and pepper and serve with Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and chopped cilantro.
