LENTILS WITH GROUND BEEF AND RICE
This is a recipe I learned from my grandma and mom and adapted to my tastes. I absolutely love it. I like it thick and creamy so before adding the ground beef make sure you like the consistency of the lentils and rice. If it's too soupy for your tastes, eliminate some of the water.

Tips:
- Use a variety of lentils for a more complex flavor and texture. Lentils come in many different colors and sizes, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Mixing and matching different types of lentils will create a more interesting and flavorful soup.
- Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy. Overcooked lentils will lose their shape and flavor.
- Add vegetables to your soup for extra flavor and nutrition. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and garlic are all great additions to lentil soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, spinach, or kale.
- Season your soup to taste. Lentil soup is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve lentil soup with a variety of toppings. Common toppings for lentil soup include bread, crackers, cheese, and sour cream. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of olive oil.
