Creamy TurkeyBacon-Lentil Soup

Another recipe I pilfered from myrecipes.com that I built better than what it was before. Bigger, stronger, faster.  Ok maybe not that bionic, but definitely half the calories and as far as I can tell through various tastings along the way, a hell of a lot yummier.

Creamy TurkeyBacon-Lentil Soup
6 cups fat-free vegetable broth
8 slices lean turkey bacon (about 8 oz), thinly sliced
1/2 lb dried lentils, rinsed
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped red bell pepper
1 c. chopped celery
2 gloves garlic, chopped
1 Serrano chili, minced
2 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 TBS Spike (or any other all-purpose seasoning you fancy)
juice of 1 lime
2 oz fat free plain greek style yogurt (like Fage)

Toss everything except  the lime and yogurt in  your crock pot.  Let it cook on low while you are at work, or goofing off for 8 hours while the rest of us hate on you.  Add your lime juice, and stir well before serving.  Add a dollop of yogurt (2 oz) to each 2 c. serving just before eating. So good!  A dash or two of Tobasco is great in it, too.

Yields 9.5 cups.  80 calories per cup.

Eric's dinner: nothing as nothing sounded good to him that we had in the house.
