Really good soup. To those who said the soup took much longer to make, you must use the orange lentils as mentioned in the recipe (red lentils. They cook much faster than the "regular" lentils.

This was just so, so. Just trying to get everyone to eat their lentils...but no such luck.

I used 1/2 of my own chicken stock that is made with no salt and plain water for the other half, . Used my Christmas ham bone and cooked with the vegetables and broth till the meat just about fell off the bone. At the end added the lentils and cooked for an additional 35 minutes. Very pleased with the end result. Never added any additonal salt.

We loved it. We boiled a ham bone, chilled the broth, skimmed off the fat and then used the broth, plus cubed ham. It was great and will make it again.

This was very tasty. I used the ham bone from a spiral ham. I added left over ham, extra veggies, extra spices, a chicken bouillon cube, and a can of roasted tomatoes. I will definitely make again.

The soup was great. We loved it and had used the bone from a Honey Baked ham as well. The only difference is that having read many of the comments, I soaked the lentils in water first and it cooked within the half hour. I did not need too much salt as the ham has some already....so salt after tasting the broth! LR

I make mine with bouillon cubes and water, because that's what I keep on hand. I use less onion (my family doesn't like too much in any recipe and I cook the soup longer than called for in the recipe, because the lentils are always too hard after half an hour. I've made this soup a half dozen times and it's come out great every time.

This is just an awesome recipe! Loved the thyme in it! I didn't have fresh so had to use dried. Love the ease of it as well.

This recipe is delicious!!! I cooked the lentils for a little longer than called one hour, because I like them tender.

After 30 minutes the lentils were still very hard!! And, the soup tasted too salty even though I didn't add extra salt. Very disappointed!! Also, the ham hocks didn't have meat on them! :(
