I found this on another website and it has become a family favourite. It's easy, healthy, and freezes really well. What more could you ask for? The original recipe calls for a small tin of sliced mushrooms, but I find a lot of people don't like mushies, so I leave them out.

Categories     Other Soups

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt ( to taste )
1 lb small lean beef tips
1 small onion chopped
1 small green bell pepper diced
1/2 c carrots diced
4 c beef stock
1 pkg hurst's garlic and herb lentils with seasoning packet
1 can(s) hunts spicy red pepper diced tomatoes
2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Salt the beef tips and brown in the olive oil on high heat.
  • 2. Lower heat, add onion, bell pepper, carrot and saute until veggies start to soften.
  • 3. add beef stock, water, and lentils. Cover. Bring up to a boil. Lower to simmer. Add seasoning packet. Simmer at least 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, lentils, and beef broth will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't overcook the lentils: Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will become mushy and ruin the texture of the soup.
  • Add the vegetables at the right time: The vegetables should be added to the soup in order of how long they take to cook. Harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes should be added first, followed by softer vegetables like celery and onions.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
  • Let the soup cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the soup from being too hot and will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Beefy lentil soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
