Directions
Lentil and Pea Soup Ham Hocks, Try this hearty soup for supper with chunks of rye bread to dunk. All you’ll need to finish a comfort food supper is some apples and cheese for dessert., Can I make this in the slow cooker? If so, does anything need to be changed?, I actually didn’t have lentils but picked this recipe anyway because of the spices and other ingredients. I’m glad I tried it! used 2c split peas, 4c water, 4 or 5c Chicken broth. I cut the celery VERY tiny, same with the onion and added both in the beginning then carrots later. The soup wasn’t the thick consistency I was hoping for at first so I took the lid off and reduced it. I was unable to find a ham hock and had to use a smoked “ham steak” instead. The result was a thick, rich, well flavored soup that my “split-pea-soup-hating-neighbor” actually loved! My husband has already requested I make this again and I can’t imagine it being any better with a real ham hock but we shall see…..Thanks for sharing this.
