LENTIL SOUP
This soup is pretty easy to make, most of the cook time is simmering on the stove top. It sure hits the spot on those cold winter nights, although I enjoy this soup any time of the year. You can ask for a ham bone at most meat counters. *Prep time does not include soaking the lentils overnight.
