CLASSIC LENTIL AND HAM HOCK SOUP RECIPE

[@clearanceflooring]

I've been looking for a recipe that suits my innate laziness as a cook, I've found it here and wow, perfect. Thanks very much, Lauren, it worked out spot on for me.

[@IESOE1]

My granny used to make me this when I was wee (40 now) and I've been looking for a good recipe to make it myself. Yours looks banging 😍 👌 I'm gony make this tomorrow, thanks for sharing 👍

[@laurenscravings]

I hope you enjoy it 😁

[@solidsoup5027]

Wonder if this was typed by a Scot lol

[@jimmy5650]

Okay. So I made this yesterday. Added a few cloves of garlic and some chicken stock paste. Would have never thought to used the turnip but I am glad I did. Delicious!

[@laurenscravings]

So glad you liked it! And loving your additions :-) amend to your own taste - that’s what cooking is all about

[@Broonzied]

I am discovering that turnip (often instead of potato) is one of the secrets to a full flavour in traditional soups like this.

[@ChrisM541]

A great soup, though certainly a wee bit different from being traditional Scottish (hough usually boiled separately, meat removed and broken up and added into soup, onions given a fry first, less/no additional stock cubes). Having said that, there are always variations to most things and your soup will, of course, be yummy.

19 weeks pregnant and woke up at 5am with an intense craving for this! Going to get the ingredients and make a massive pan of this mmmnn

[@laurenscravings]

The best pot of soup 🙌🏼 enjoy lovely x

[@beckynik-nik721]

It went great! Totally satisfied my craving thank you for the recipe!

Came across this video yesterday and followed the recipe today. First time ever making soup. Turned out really well ! Thanks for the vid 😊

[@heathermccready6300]

Just tried this recipe for the first time - absolutely delicious!

[@laurenscravings]

So glad you enjoyed it!

Ham Hough is a belter of an addition.

[@laurenscravings]

Isn’t it 😏😏

[@ChrisM541]

This is one of my most favourite soups. Absolutely delicious. I don't know if that's a smoked ham hough - I've always used a smoked ham for that extra flavour. I also like that you cook your veg in the same pot as the hough to ensure maximum stock flavour goes into the veg. All in all, a michty tasty soup indeed.

[@laurenscravings]

It’s definitely a smoked hough - I love the flavour you get from it - can’t beat it!

Great job your fan andy thank you godbless happy easter

For anyone who can't get Knorr Ham Cubes where they live and would like to use L.B. Jamison's or Better Than Bouillon Ham Base, 1 Knorr cube makes 2 cups of broth. In other words, 1 Krorr ham cube is equal to 2 teaspoons of L.B. Jamison's or Better Than Bouillon Ham Base.

[@jimmy5650]

Sorry if I missed it but how much total water? 2 pints? I'm making this in about 30 mins.

[@laurenscravings]

3 litres - all the info is in the description :-)

Never seen it done this way but looks super delicious and very easy to do!

[@laurenscravings]

Hope you like it if you try it 😁

[@James-b7p2k]

Super looked lovely

[@meatwad1]

I can't believe the size of that ham hock. It's 2 or 3 times the size of the ham hocks we get here in the US. And your carrots are short and fat. Ours are relatively long and slim.

[@arimill1045]

I am never not going to grate veggies like this again, holy. That said, the 4 stock cubes when you have a Hock and not pre-frying your onions! aghast! XD

[@laurenscravings]

I can’t work out if the first part of this is a compliment or not 😂 but thanks for the comment I know it seems like a lot, but it does work 😆

[@arimill1045]

@@laurenscravings compliment I love the shredded veggies!

[@souljar9808]

This is exactly as my gran made it! I can give no higher complement

[@laurenscravings]

That is a huge compliment! Thanks so much

[@souljar9808]

@@laurenscravings the only thing I do differently and it’s nanas rules is leave the soup over night in the pot and leave the bone in.. it’s her rules which I’m sure you understand 😘

[@souljar9808]

Oh and I’ve just made a massive pot with your recipe. Big love from me

[@souljar9808]

Are you @laurenscravings on Twitter cause I’m following

[@laurenscravings]

@@souljar9808 I’ll need to try that then! Although I’m always careful about anything containing turnip being left overnight at room temp 😅 I don’t use Twitter anymore so not active, but I’m @laurenscravings on Instagram - use that loads ☺️

Class man 🙌🏻🤤

[@lyndamcleod2242]

AT LAST! A real perfect l lentil soup,no garlic or shit,granny made it exactly like you do!!! Just had two plates,now can’t eat my dinner! Will have some more soup before bedtime.Thankyou x x x x

[@penelopepitstop197]

What about adding split peas

[@laurenscravings]

Totally up to you

[@johnmckenzie3349]

making this soup for the fourth time, its absolutely delicious. but i would love to get the weight of the ingrediants, making it again and the turnip is massive, i could probably used 1/4 of the turnip so i put in the same weight of carrots, so iam winging it now, hopeing for the best.

[@jimmymc10021]

Thank you

[@Pjp43]

Would have thought after 2hrs the lentils would have completely disintegrated! To much salt maybe? I’d add stock cubes at the end.

[@laurenscravings]

Nope to your comment about the lentils and the salt - as vetted by lots of people who have made it from my insta. Stock cubes are your own personal choice 👌🏼 but to be honest, make it how you want it ... that’s the joys of cooking

[@scswp6945]

Sounds like Susan Calman!!!

[@laurenscravings]

Well we are both Scottish haha

[@philgibbs8218]

Ham should ALWAYS be cooked separate

[@davidsmith8950]

Nope

[@biggiesmalls5895]

No mate it shouldn’t lmao

[@nickpagano7134]

Absolutely not

[@ScotVenus]

Aw shurrup! She’s doing it her way. I DO cook it separately but that’s just my preference. Each to their own. Awaynbileyerheid.
