Steps:
- 1. Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer 45 - 50 minutes, or until peas are tender.
Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
- Soak your lentils before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy. If you forget to soak them ahead of time, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 5 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 30 minutes.
- Don't overcook the lentils. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Add vegetables to your soup. This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Season your soup to taste. This may include adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other spices.
- Serve your soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the meal more satisfying.

Beef lentil soup is a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting meal, give beef lentil soup a try.
