For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and use vegetable stock. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preference. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor. This soup freezes beautifully, making it a great make-ahead meal. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can simmer the soup on the stovetop for about 2 hours, or until the lentils are tender.
