Lentil Soup


Today I made some lentil soup from the left over ham bone and ham from Christmas. It has been super cold here lately, so it was pretty awesome coming home to this baby that has been slow cooking all day. This soup also contains my turkey stalk I made, I love that I can go into my freezer now and whip out a soup. The recipe I used for this soup was a big combination of online recipes and me making it up as I went along. 

recipe:

1 ham bone
about 3 cups of chunked cooked ham
3 med sized carrots, diced  
2 c turkey stock
3-4 c water
1 onion, diced
1 can of diced stewed tomatoes
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/4 c heavy cream
2 c mixed lentils
1 tbsp italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

I combined the bone with the both and tomatoes and cooked that for a few hours, then I added the rest of the ingredients besides the cream. I let that cooked for about 4 hours, then I added the cream cooked that for about an hour.
