Vary your lentils. Look for either brown or green lentils to use for this robust soup. Look forward to leftovers, too! This soup tastes even better the second day.
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup diced prosciutto or fully cooked Virginia ham (4 ounces)
1/4 cup diced Genoa salami (2 ounces)
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups dried lentils (8 ounces), sorted and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and onion in oil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in prosciutto and salami. Cook over medium heat 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender. Remove bay leaf.
