If you've never had lentils, don't be afraid of this recipe. It's easy and full of flavor. I used my leftover spiral ham bone from Thankgiving. Since it wasn't smoked, I added 2 capfulls of liquid smoke (1 capfull in the beginning and 1 more when I added the lentils. I omitted the garlic and parsley since I didn't have them on hand. The lentils took about twice as long to cook so be sure to allow for extra cooking time. Since the soup becomes thicker as the lentils cook, I ended up using 2 extra cans (4 cups of chicken stock to get a consistency that I liked.

I used two spiral ham bones and added 1/4 tsp. of liquid smoke instead of smoked ham hocks. Everyone wanted the recipe!!

This soup has so much flavor and it's delicious. the ham hocks are a bit of a pain as they didn't exactly fall apart after an hour of cooking. And the lentils took a LOT longer than 30 minutes so leave yourself plenty of time. The longer, the better. I sliced some french bread really thin and brushed it with olive oil, salt & pepper, and toasted it in the oven. SO good to top off your hearty, delicious, lentil soup.

Nothing special. Didn't really care for the texture when finished, but the flavor was decent.

This is "hands down" the best Lentil Soup I've made. The only change I made was adding a little more (about 1 cup chicken broth as the soup was a little too thick for my tastes.

I used broth from boiling a beef brisket the day before, it added great flavor!
