Lentil Soup
1 (16 ounce) package dried lentils
3 quarts chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
5 drops hot chili sauce (e.g. Tabasco Sauce)
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 pound diced ham
croutons
Rinse and drain lentils; place in a soup pot. Add stock, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, nutmeg, chili sauce, caraway seeds, and celery salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add water as needed, up to 2 quarts, to retain soupy texture.
Stir in carrots, celery, and onion. Cook 15 minutes more. Serve hot, garnished with croutons.
Crockpot Method: Put all ingredients in a crockpot. Cook on low for 8 hours.
Makes 6 - 8 servings
