Begin by adding a generous quantity of lentils to your 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Next, pour in a substantial amount of chicken stock, along with a few bay leaves for added flavor. Add some sliced carrots, chopped celery, diced onion, and thinly sliced ham to the pot as well. To enhance the dish's savory taste, sprinkle a pinch of Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, nutmeg, hot pepper sauce, caraway seed, celery salt, parsley, and a generous amount of black pepper over the ingredients.
