Soup is a no brainer when it comes to comfort food, its right up there with mashed potatoes in my book of goodness. This soup is easy and fast, onion, carrot, celery, smoked pork neckbone, potato, lentils, salt, pepper, chicken stock.
Saute the vegetables until tender in olive oil add the pork add the lentils, stir a bit to coat add the stock and simmer until the lentils are done.
Serve with fresh bread from the left over pizza dough and slather on the butter, or not.

yes please....soup is one of all my all time favorite things to eat. and this looks so good...I can smell it Dog!!!
So yea - this looks great. I am completely in love with comfort foods like this! Where I come from - we eat this with cornbread!!!
Roasted a big pork butt, wanted to make pork chili, or pork BB-Q sandwiches, or possibly a Mexican pork roll-up... now I gotta add soup to the list...
that looks great. Lentils are one of my favorite beans--they just cook up so quickly!
anette: thats exactly it!
beth: you can smell the smoky goodness?
darius: cornbread is an excellent idea since the pizza dough bread came out so tough
buff: put some in the smoker...
tavolini: lentils cook up quicker than seems humanly possible...
Pork and lentils!!! mmm they look so comforting...
You have blasted another one of my 'busy day working, so eat cereal nights' with lovely pictures of soup; although I had maple pecan whole grain cereal with maple brown sugar rice milk. Does that count for a beautiful meal like yours :)
Gotta love comfort food!
Lentil soup is one of my top five comfort foods! (I can't have just one.)
Cold weather's coming. Soup is good. I hope the Dakotas don't send us their blizzard.
Pizza dough bread's gonna be tough. Needs more liquids and fats to be good.
oh honey, I smell the smokey HISPANIC goodness all the way over here!!! and you don't even have to ask for The Girls...I am a sharing person.
ramya: lentils are so comforting -forget about the pork..
chef e: please send me the 'structions on how to make your mustard - and your cereal ranks!
TBD: Its hard to hate thats for sure...
lisaiscooking: I hear you and I am impressed that you got it down to five
marjie: I am not the best baker - so little did I know it was a fat/liquid thing - but I do now...
beth: thats what I'm talkin' about!
Yummy! Soup is the best thing about winter. That and snuggling up in front of the fireplace.
P.S. Kudos for making this recipe so easy!
dog, just tell me what size you are...uh, what size JACKET you wear!!! I'll do my best, but I make no guarantees, my friend. Vera Wang I aint!!!
I've heard the neckbone has lots of little bones in it. Did they get in your soup at all or were they easy to find? Just asking...I've never used the neckbone before, just the hock. Your soup sounds great.
I love being in the comfort zone!
I agree soup if one of the best things you can have...and this soup looks great!
