Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and add the kielbasa. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or longer. Meanwhile, in large skillet over high heat, fry bacon until slightly limp. Spoon all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Add carrots, celery and onion to bacon and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mixture to saucepot and continue cooking for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove kielbasa from soup and slice in half lengthwise and then in pieces the other way. Return kielbasa to the lentils and serve. We like it with corn muffins and a fruit salad.
