Recipe by Elaine Johnson This soup has two layers of kumquats--cooked in the soup to become mellow and tender, and finely chopped with parsley for a bright topping.

Ingredients

3/4 cup (4 oz.) chopped pancetta or bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 cups French green*, black beluga, or regular lentils, sorted from debris and rinsed
About 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces kumquats (about 24)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
9 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, divided

Instructions

Sauté pancetta in oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard all but 2 tbsp. fat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and thyme; cook, stirring often, until vegetables start to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add lentils, 6 cups broth, and the pepper to pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are almost tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
