Smoky Tomato-Lentil Soup With Ham Recipe










Ingredients:

3/4 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 each onions
1 1/2 each garlic cloves, crushed

1 cup water
1/2 lb ham hocks
1/3 cup lentils
3/4 tbsp basil

14 oz plum tomatoes
3/4 cup cabbage, shredded

Instructions:

In a 5-6 qt pot, heat oil over medium heat. Chop onions. Add onions and

tomatoes and their juice, cabbage, and ham and simmer, uncovered, for 15
minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Salt and pepper to taste. (The

Sylvia's comments: I didn't have smoked ham hocks, so just added the
chopped ham early in the cooking. This was a nice, flavorful soup. Could
have used a few more lentils, or maybe some added barley, though.
