Split Pea or Lentil Soup

Split Pea or Lentil Soup

1 Packet of split peas or Lentils
1 lb. sliced carrots
1 large onion-chopped
1C fresh parsley - chopped or 1 Tbsp dried parsley
salt & pepper to taste
2-3 bay leaves (good without also)
1 1/2 qts water
1 hambone with honey glaze or 2 Tbsps honey

Place all ingredients together in a crockpot. simmer all day on high setting.

**It may need more water. The flavor is best the next day

I have tried using a ham steak cut up it is still good but tastes a little more hammy than I like. The hambone is really the best way to go. I have only tried it with split peas I have never tried the Lentils.
