A great winter warmer, always a favourite with everyone! Makes a big pot enough for all the family, around 8 servings.
Serve with crusty bread of any type, tiger bread is good!
At the beginning of step two you can remove the ham from the soup and allow to cool slightly before removing the meat from the bone and adding back to the soup, discarding the bone.
I didn't use the potatoes in this recipe, doubling the other veg instead. I also added celery, barley and pea soup mix - lovely - 19 Feb 2016 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
I went back to Scotland with my 83 year old mother this October. At every chance we had we ordered the lentil soup, always been a favourite. I vowed I would find a great recipe when we returned home to Canada......this is it! Loooooove it, and have introduced it to some Canadian friends that rave about it too! - 30 Nov 2015 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
