Lentil Ham Soup Recipes

I had a ham bone in the freezer that needed to be utilized, so I came up with this soup from the ingredients I had on hand.

Excellent cold weather main dish or as a side cup with a hot sandwich.

Yummy Lentil soup for the Slow Cooker (picture is 1/2 cup (half serving)

This winter comfort food is a great way to use up leftover ham.

Super-quick preparation for a delicious soup I've been making for years. What makes this soup extra delicious are the optional sherry and parmesan cheese when serving--those calories are not included here. If you'd like a more traditional German taste, add a pinch of cloves with the other ingredients.

Quick and easy soup to make in just an hour!

This is one of my FAVORITE childhood recipes from my mom. She makes it with ham hocks and split yellow peas - you can do it either way. Perfect on a cold day in the crock pot

from the soup bible

THE ORIGINS OF THIS RECIPE WAS FROM JAMES BEARD. USING A BLENDER TO INCORPORATE THE RAW GARLIC AND ONION IN THE LENTIL SOUP GIVE THIS SOUP GREAT FLAVOR AND THICKENS THE SOUP. IT IS ALSO FILLING, LOW CAL, LOW FAT, VERY FREEZABLE. EASY TO MAKE AND VERY NUTRITIOUS!
PS I ONLY MAKE THIS IN A BIG BATCH

Thick tasty soup which is also filling. The lentils are cooked so long that they no longer resemble lentils but make for a thick creamy soup. This recipe is very easy but you do need to plan ahead of time since the beans cook overnight in the crock pot.

I used just the finely diced ham to flavor the soup, as I didn't have a ham bone. You get the best flavor when you also use the ham bone.

OMG! I did it...this tastes peppery but yummy. I never cooked with lentils before!

Ham and lentil soup made in a Dahl style. Lots of yummy spices.

This lentil soup recipe makes a lot. For best flavor sprinkle on cayenne pepper for a garnish in an amount you feel tastes best. You can also garnish with a dollop of sour cream or greek plain yogurt if you desire or 2 tsp lemon juice. I do not; I like it with hot peppers only (copious amounts). Get the full nutritional break down on the soup only and you'll agree this is healthy; however it is also very good tasting with many textures and tastes. I like mine with whole grain rye bread and caraway seeds, the sharper the better or pumpernickel bread and brushed with homemade butter. This turns out very thick ( you can water or bullion it for more broth)

Soup I make a lot as we all like it

lentils and leftover ham

Rich, satisfying, and low calorie!

This is a simple, tasty soup.

Great winter warm up

Great for left over ham bone or just for a cold winter night

Using that leftover ham bone makes this soup taste great. Full of fiber and protein, but low in calorie. Chock full of veggies.

Great for winter days
