Ham and Lentil Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup dried lentils
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Combine chicken broth and water in a large stockpot, adding sliced carrots, chopped celery, diced onion, lentils, minced garlic, and a splash of red wine vinegar; heat the mixture over high flames until it reaches a rolling boil, then gradually decrease the intensity to a low simmer, allowing the carrots to become tender after approximately 10 minutes have passed.

Next, incorporate diced ham, a dollop of mustard, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper into the pot; continue to cook the mixture over low heat for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the lentils have achieved a tender consistency.
