Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, turnips and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start browning, about 8 minutes. Add the flour and thyme; cook, stirring, until the flour is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in 4 cups hot water until smooth.
- Add the ham and the lentils with their liquid. Increase the heat to medium high and bring just to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low so the soup is gently simmering. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly and the lentils are creamy, about 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the baguette cubes; sprinkle with the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 7 minutes. Serve the soup topped with the croutons.
LENTIL BARLEY SOUP
Meet the Cook: Soups are one of my favorite things to prepare - they're so easy, and nothing is better on a chilly evening with some homemade bread or biscuits. I am only 26 and married for just a year, so I don't consider myself an "experienced" cook. But I do love to try new recipes with a country flair. -Anita Warner, Mt. Crawford, Virginia

LESLIE'S HAM LENTIL SOUP
I originally called this my 'experimental lentil' soup, patching together various other lentil soup recipes. I've been making it every fall for a decade now. What's listed here is a single recipe, though I can't remember the last time I've made such a small batch. It's great for freezing in individual servings for lunches.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste its best. Look for high-quality lentils, barley, ham, and vegetables.
- Cook the lentils and barley separately: This will help to prevent the lentils from becoming mushy. Cook the lentils until they are tender but still hold their shape, and cook the barley until it is chewy but not crunchy.
- Use a good quality ham: The ham is one of the main flavors in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a ham that is smoked and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables in your soup to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
This lentil barley ham soup is a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
