Leslie's Ham Lentil Soup image

I originally called this my 'experimental lentil' soup, patching together various other lentil soup recipes. I've been making it every fall for a decade now. What's listed here is a single recipe, though I can't remember the last time I've made such a small batch. It's great for freezing in individual servings for lunches.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups water
2 ⅔ tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1 ham bone with some meat
2 cups lentils
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
1 green bell pepper, chopped
½ onion, chopped
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon crushed bay leaf

Steps:

  • Bring water and chicken bouillon granules to a boil in a stock pot, stirring to dissolve bouillon. Place ham bone in boiling broth, reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in lentils. Simmer until lentils begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir celery, carrots, green bell pepper, onion, marjoram, and bay leaf into broth and simmer until lentils and vegetables are tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Turn off heat and remove ham bone from soup. Cut ham from the bone, cube the meat, and return meat to soup, discarding the bone.

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

I'm a vegetarian so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still delicious!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter and this is a great way to use it up.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup and it was even better. I also used chicken broth instead of water to give it a richer flavor.

I'm not a big fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this soup. The lentils and vegetables balance out the flavor of the ham perfectly.
