How to Make French Market Crock Pot Soup

  1. Rinse 1 pound of dried French lentils or beans and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Cover the beans with water and let them soak overnight (at least 8 hours).
  3. Drain the soaked beans.
  4. In your crock-pot, combine the drained beans, 1 pound of ham bone (or 1 cup of diced ham), 1 large chopped onion, 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 4 cloves minced garlic, 8 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 bay leaf.
  5. Cover the crock-pot and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours.
  6. Remove the ham bone from the soup. Once cool enough to handle, chop the ham meat and return it to the pot.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional).
  8. Cook for an additional 30 minutes on low to allow flavors to meld.
  9. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy your delicious and comforting French Market Crock Pot Soup!
