Yummy Lentil Soup

Wednesday came and went, but I did manage to make a very yummy lentil soup.  The primary recipe was from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food cookbook.  I made a slight variation by adding in ham while the bacon was cooking.  I wanted the ham to get a little brown on it.  The meal was topped off with a side salad and a thin slice of asiago and cracked pepper artisan bread.
