Delicious one-pot ham and red lentil soup with low GI.

Ingredients:

1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled, chopped
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 litres chicken style liquid stock
100g piece leg ham (see note)
250.00 ml red lentils, rinsed, drained
62.50 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, warm oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally.
Turn the heat up to high and pour in the stock to bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, then stir in the ham and lentils. Let it simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes until the lentils are tender.
Take out the ham from the pan, use a fork to shred it, then add it back to the soup. Let it cook for 2 minutes until heated through. Add parsley, season with pepper, and serve.
