8 cups of water
2 2/3 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules
1 tsp marjoram
2 cups of lentils
1 ham bone with meat
1/3 tsp of marjoram
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 bay leaves
1 cup of carrots, coined
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
Bring water and bouillon granules to a boil in a stock pot. Place ham bone in boiling broth, reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in lentils. Simmer 10 minutes until lentils begin to soften.
Stir celery, carrots, green peppers, onion, marjoram, and bay leaves into broth and simmer until lentils and vegetables are tender, about 10 to 20 minutes. Turn off heat and remove ham bone from soup. Cut ham from the bone, cube the meat, and return meat to the soup, discarding the bone.
