I'm a vegetarian so I used vegetable broth and omitted the ham. The soup was still delicious.

This soup is a great base recipe. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped spinach or kale to mine.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to this soup and it was even better. I think next time I'll add some diced potatoes too.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I had some leftover Easter ham that I used in this soup and it was delicious.

This soup is delicious! I made it last night and my family loved it. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the ham added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
