The ingredients for Lentil, Hambone, and Leftover Soup are:

1 leftover smoked ham bone
1 pound lentils (about 2 1/2 cups), picked over and rinsed
1 medium rutabaga, chopped
3 onions, chopped coarsely
1 cup chopped carrot
1 chopped medium green pepper
1 cinnamon stick
1 Tbs crushed bay leaf
4 cloves garlic, sliced
7 1/2 cups light chicken broth
4 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
several grinds of fresh black pepper

Here is how you make Lentil, Hambone, and Leftover Soup:

Put all prepared ingredients into a 8qt stock pot. Bring to a simmer, and keep it there for 1.5 hours partially covered. Stir gently occasionally. After cooking, remove the ham bone and strip any remaining meat off it. Chop the meat if necessary, and add it back into the soup. (If you used a whole bay leaf, remove that too.) Serving sizes vary, but I estimate you would get 10 regular soup bowls worth out of this recipe, maybe more. Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JENNHAHN1.
