Grandma's chicken lentil soup

Chicken second courses

There is much more than Lentils and Chicken in this fabulous soup. This recipe is adapted from my Grandmother's own Rolodex of recipes. I've been making my own version now for years. I changed a few steps (such as making my own stock, the use of tasso ham and a few other things) but all in all, the flavors are the same (just improved). From start to finish, this recipe will take you all day to make. You can make your stock ahead of time, as many of us often do, and that will make this soup come together quickly on the day you want to eat it.
