This smoked ham and lentil soup starts with a whole smoked ham hock, pressure-cooked with aromatics to create a deeply savory, collagen-rich broth. The lentils and vegetables then cook in the broth, absorbing its smoky flavor as they soften and thicken the soup. A little tomato adds depth, while a splash of cider vinegar at the end brightens the rich broth. It's a satisfying, from-scratch soup that makes excellent use of an inexpensive cut of pork.
