This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham hock next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. The ham hock gives the soup such a rich flavor. I usually serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This ham hock and lentil soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and hearty, and the lentils were cooked perfectly. I added a few extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery, and it turned out great. Definitely a keeper recipe!
