This is a delicious, healthy and quick soup with a lovely French flair - and a great way to use leftover ham. The Puy lentils can be pricey, so you may want to substitute other lentils-they'll taste almost as good but they will not retain their shape/texture the way the Puy lentils will. Ingredients:
3/4 cup ham, lean, cubed |
1 1/2 cups lentils, green puy |
1 cup dry red wine |
1 onion, diced |
3 stalks celery, finely diced |
1 carrot, finely diced |
1/2 cup italian parsley, chopped |
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed (or three teaspoons fresh, minced) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Place the ham in a soup pot or Dutch oven.
2. Add 10 cups water and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until lentils are tender and broth is rich.
