This is great even without the ham. I threw in a couple slices of canadian bacon, but I think I'll just leave those out too next time.

DH really loves lentil soup and this is the only recipe that I have found that I like too. He was a happy camper when he came home last night. I made as posted except cut the recipe in half. He's having some for lunch today and the rest is frozen for later. Thanks for posting.

This is a great soup. I love lentil soup and my childhood neighbor from Greece used to make the best. This is the next best thing. Next time I will add some chopped frozen spinach, (1/2 a box) like she used to do. Thanks so much!

Wonderful! We loved this healthy, good-for-you, hearty, delicious soup!!!! It was filled with veggies and fiber; very flavorful; filling; and warm and comforting. We found this to taste great at first serving, with leftovers that were almost even better; and it freezes very well. I definitely recommened what another reviewer recommended - instead of two quarts water, make this with one quart water, and one quart vegetable broth - it really adds flavor to this soup!!! I also added about five cloves of garlic, seasoning salt, several dashes of hot sauce, and some cayanne pepper, among other additions. Adding lots of extras to this soup really heightened the flavor, so I would recommend using this recipes as a base, then experimenting and adding lots of interesting spices and additions (this is why I gave it four stars instead of five - it is a great base, but does need a little something extra!). My final product was excellent, using this recipe as a base, and then being a creative chef! This is a dish that I will be making again and again!!
