Leslie's Ham Lentil Soup
I originally called this my "experimental lentil" soup, patching together various other lentil ham bone soup recipes. I've been making it every fall for a decade now. What's listed here is a single recipe, though I can't remember the last time I've made such a small batch. It's great for freezing in individual servings for lunches.
