1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Saute bacon in large saucepan over medium-high heat until fat is rendered, about 4 minutes; remove bacon; drain off all but 1 ½ tblsps of fat; add onion, carrot, leek and garlic and saute until light brown, about 10 minutes; add broth, lentils, split peas, potato, ham hock, celery, thyme and bay leaf; bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until lentils and split peas are tender, about 45 minutes; stir in red wine and simmer 5 minutes longer; discard bay leaf; remove ham hock from soup and remove any meat attached to bone; cube meat and return to soup along with chopped up bacon; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Freezer Note: Making up a double batch of soup is economical of energy and time - you'll do slightly more work now, use the same amount of energy to cook, and save yourself time and energy later on, when you want a quick, nutritious dinner. Just defrost in microwave, reheat well and serve

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it would be better with less chili powder. I also found the lentils and split peas to be a bit too mushy. Overall, I wasn't very impressed with this soup.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I thought the flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit too thick. I probably wouldn't make this soup again.
