Lentil Soup With Ham

Lentil Soup With Ham is a delicious recipe that provides a filling and tasty meal that warms your cockles. This soup is ready in 40 minutes and will comfortably feed 4 people. I make this recipe in advance and leave to cool, put it in the fridge and have over the next day or so, warmed on the stove. The combination of chicken stock and wine infused lentils and delicate ham creates a soup with an attitude. Its lovely and well worth a test.
