Preparation steps
For the soup: Place the lentils in a bowl of cold water and soak overnight. Drain.
Cut the pancetta into strips. Peel the carrots, remove the strings from the celery, and cut into small cubes. Peel the onion and garlic and chop finely. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan and saute the bacon until crispy, remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until translucent. Place the bay leaf, peppercorns and marjoram in a spice bag and add to the pan. Add the carrots, celery and lentils to the pan with the broth, return the bacon to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the lentils are tender, about 45 minutes.
Add the spices in a spice bag and place with the soup.
