Recipe:Red lentil soup

Dear Anais,

This is a recipe that your sister and I recently discovered. It was just an amalgam of leftover ingredients we happened to have lying around the house. It tasted so good we argued over who got the last bowl! I thought I would share it because it was very easy, and since I have hear the weather has been cold by you a soup would be a good idea.

Red Lentil Soup

1 c red lentils (you could use any other small lentils yellow, green, etc.)
1 c chopped cabbage
4 diced baby carrots
3 ham hocks, 2 smoked turkey legs or 1 tsp liquid smoke for a vegetarian alternative
1 cube veg bullion
2 ribs celery chopped
4-6 c water

Throw everything in the pot. Make sure there is enough weater to make everything swim. Bring to a boil. Simmer until the celery is tender, being sure to stir occasionally to keep it from scalding. Remove hocks prior to serving.
