This is a great soup to make ahead of time. It reheats really well and it's even better the next day.

I love that this soup is so easy to make and that I can use leftover ham. It's a great way to use up leftovers and it's also a really affordable meal.

I added a can of diced tomatoes to the soup and it gave it a nice tangy flavor. I also used a smoked ham hock instead of regular ham, which gave the soup a delicious smoky flavor.

I'm not a fan of ham, so I used leftover chicken instead. It was still really good!

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the pot in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I love how versatile this soup is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a bit of chopped spinach or kale for some extra greens.

This soup was a hit with my family - they loved the mild smoky flavor of the ham and the tender lentils. It was also really easy to make in my Instant Pot, which is a huge bonus for a busy weeknight meal.
