    Creamy Ham and Lentil Soup - Peace Love and Low Carb
    Creamy Ham and Lentil Soup - Low Carb, Gluten Free | Peace Love and Low Carb
    This soup is hearty and healthy. It is sure to warm you up on those brisk fall and winter days. It is a great make ahead meal as it freezes and reheats well. To make this recipe dairy-free, simply replace the heavy cream with unsweetened coconut mik. If you are looking for some other low carb and gluten free soup recipes, check out a couple of my favorites - Slow Cooker Chicken Bacon Chowder and Paleo Egg Roll Soup.

      It's still gray and drizzly weather in Seattle, and I had leftover ham, so I made this recipe. Phenomenal! So, so very good. The crockpot made it easy. This will definitely be one of my go-to recipes!

      It's winter, and I made this in the slow-cooker so I could have something hot to eat after a long day on campus. It really hit the spot!! Delicious!!

      Love this soup made it twice now, once in the crock-pot and once on the stove top in about 25 minutes. Delicious!
