Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb bag of lentils
4 c chicken broth
4 c water
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion
2 stalks of celery
4 medium carrots
1 large hamhock
2 tsp salt
1 dash(es) black pepper
1 c additional water or chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. Place 1 bag of lentils (about 2 cups) in your crock pot with the 4 cups of chicken broth and 4 cups of water.
  • 2. Cut up onion, celery and carrots and mince fine in a food processor or by hand. Saute the veggies in a large frying pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until soft. Add them to the crock pot.
  • 3. Stir everything up and add the hamhock. Cook on low all day. (I put mine in at 7 in the morning and we didn't eat it until nearly 9 that night. It will be fine.)
  • 4. After it has cooked between 6 and 8 hours take out the hamhock and get rid of the fat and bone. Chop up the meat and put it back in with the lentils. Add the salt and pepper to taste. I found 2 teaspoons of salt was just right but a saltier hamhock may mean you don't need to add as much salt.
  • 5. Add another 1 to 2 cups of chicken broth or water to thin it back down to soup consistency at this point and allow to simmer a little longer. Serve it up, top it with sour cream and enjoy!

This soup is just what I needed on a cold winter day. It was so warm and comforting. I loved the combination of lentils, vegetables, and spices. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of vegetables in my fridge that I need to use up, and this soup is a perfect way to do it. The soup is also delicious and healthy.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

This soup was just okay. I thought it was a bit bland. I might try it again with some different spices.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have added more spices. But it was still a good, hearty soup. I would make it again, but I would definitely adjust the seasoning.
