List of Ingredients




1 1/2 t olive oil
4 cups onions, chopped
4 t garlic, minced
7 cups chicken stock
1 lb ham hocks
1 1/4 cups celery, diced with leaves
1 1/4 cups carrots, diced
2/3 cup lentils, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 T dried basil
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried thyme
1/4 t black pepper, freshly ground
1/8 t red pepper flakes
28 oz. can plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups cabbage, shredded
1/4 lb ham, diced

In a 6 qt. pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for about 7 minutes, or until onions are soft. Add stock, 2 cups water, ham hocks, celery, carrots, lentils, basil, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and red-pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, or until the lentils are soft. Skim fat from soup. Discard ham hocks.
