Ingredients


Preparation

In a Med/Large Pot combine water and Lentils. Boil for 1 minute the reduce heat to low; simmer 15 minutes.

Add all remaining ingredients except Sazon and wine. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to a simmer for 45 minutes.

Remove Bay leaf, Basil leaves, and Ham shank. Remove the meat from the shank and shred. Place ham shank meat back into pot. Add wine. Add Sazon if needed. Stir and cook for 5 more minutes.

You can find the recipe for Sazon on my page.

(HINT: If you can not find a ham shank you can use some bacon and some cooking ham chopped or diced. You can also add carrots if you like. You can also just add salt and pepper if you like. The longer you let the soup rest and removed from heat the thinker it will become.)

Serve Over white rice or enjoy alone.

An absolutely delicious Cuban version of lentil soup that was thick and rich in both taste and texture. Undoubtedly one of the richest lentil soups that I have ever had the pleasure to taste (by quantity of rich ingredients and rich flavor). Well worth the effort that went into making it!
