Instead of looking for ham to add to the lentil soup,try cutting up some of the smoked bacon,[including the rind] that is not too hard to find here now.Tastes very much like the soup my old Gran used to make 50 something years ago,[NO it hasn't been maturing all that time]You can also use some of the offcuts from the small gammon joints that have been smuggled over in the suitcase.LOL

Thing is, all these things can be expensive and it is great to make it yourself.  I love Heinz Tomato, but I wont be paying for it here.

And because of the special twist of taking some chumks out and then putting them back. Hope you enjoy it. I'm off to make some for supper.

Turkish Red Lentil Soup

Ingredients
10 oz      red lentils, washed & cleaned
1½ litres   vegetable stock
1      onion, finely chopped
1       med/large potato, finely diced
1      heaped teaspoon paprika
1      teaspoon salt
-      chilli powder (to taste)
-      pepper (to taste)
-      juice of half lemon
-      slice other half of lemon to garnish

Method
1.    Put lentils, stock, potatoes, onions, paprika, and chilli in saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, put lid on slightly ajar. Cook for 30-40 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
2.   Take out about ¼ of soup and set to one side. Blend/whizz the remaining soup. Put the reserved mix back in, add lemon juice, check seasoning and reheat.
3.    Serve (perhaps floating lemon slices on top).

Serves 6
