It bears mentioning that, while bread is a delicious accompaniment to this dish, eating lentils together with rice provides a complete protein. Since the ham (or chorizo) alone may not provide very much protein, this is a good thing to keep in mind.

Laura, glad it worked for you. I have to stress I do not have any formal training in cooking… but thanks for the big pat on the back! There are several dozen more recipes in the archives…

Tried your lentil soup recipe for dinner but I used the prosciutto I have instead. Mr. MM – I must say you’re an excellent chef – it was delicious!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Sopa de Ajo is so easy. Just saute some garlic in EVOO, add paprika and cumin.Then throw in chicken broth..lastly, plop a whole egg to poach. Voila!

I love bean soups…especially lentejas and fabada (and monggo!). A true comfort food. You can buy ham bone in Alba’s (from their Jamon Serrano). That’s where I get mine for my fabada. It makes AMAZING broth in which to cook the beans (or to make a sopa cartuja, sopa seca, or pote gallego). But recently their supply has been super erratic…oh bother :(
