Delectable Lentil Stew

We've made this 3 times in the last week... it's that good:

4 carrots, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, diced (I used 2 T. dehydrated onion)
1/2 c. bell peppers, chopped (I used 1 T. dehydrated bell pepper)
5 1/2 c. water
4 tsp chicken boulion
1 c. lentils
dash garlic pepper
sprinkle red pepper flakes
1 tsp sugar
1 c. cubed ham, cut up ham lunch meat or maple link sausage
1 c. yellow squash, cubed
1 tomato, cubed

Put everything but the squash and tomato in a pot, and bring to a boil. Let simmer in a covered pot for 20 minutes. Add the squash and tomato and cook for 5-10 more minutes. It's so delicious!!
