French Lentil Soup
This is a delicious, healthy and quick soup with a lovely french flair -- and a great way to use leftover ham. the puy lentils can be pricey, so you may want to substitute other lentils--they'll taste almost as good but they will not retain their shape/texture the way the puy lentils will.
Steps
Place the ham in a soup pot or dutch oven.
Add 10 cups water and remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until lentils are tender and broth is rich.
Ingredients
ham, lentils, dry red wine, onion, celery, carrot, italian parsley, dried rosemary, salt, ground pepper
