Lentil Soup
|
Like all Crinellas, Ramona is happier outdoors. She likes to spend the
winters skiing at Squaw Valley where she is sometimes joined by cousin
Elizabeth Ederle Myers and her husband Dick. Liz is Louise Crinella's
daughter. There is simply nothing like a bowl of this filling soup at the
end of a long day on freezing lifts.
1 ham bone
2 cups, dried lentils
2 1/2 quarts, water
4 slices prosciutto, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup, diced carrots
1/2 cup, chopped white onions
1/2 cup, chopped celery
1/4 cup, fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 whole bay leaf
1 teaspoon, salt
1 teaspoon, freshly ground pepper
