The holidays are here again, which can only mean you have another ham bone, which can only mean lentil soup...
Standard lentil soup recipes instruct you to remove part of the finished soup, process it in a blender or food processor, then return it to the rest of the soup. But that's a PITA. This time, here's what I did.
When the lentils are just about cooked, reduce the heat to low, or else remove the pot from the heat altogether, whichever you're more comfortable with.
Take a potato masher and start "mashing" the soup...press the masher down slowly into the soup until you hit the bottom of the pan. Keep doing this until part of the soup has smushed up.
It's easier than taking out another device and then having it to clean, and produces a pretty good thick soup.
