Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground lamb
3 large celery stalks, chopped
2 large parsnips, peeled, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 pound lentils, rinsed
4 14-ounce cans (or more) beef broth
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
3 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup chopped fresh mint, divided

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add lamb, celery, parsnips, onion, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are almost tender and lamb is cooked through and beginning to brown, breaking up lamb with back of fork, about 15 minutes. Add lentils and stir 1 minute. Add 4 cans broth, tomatoes with juice, and cumin. Bring soup to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer 2 cups soup to blender and puree until smooth; return to same pot. Mix in 1/4 cup mint. Thin soup with more broth if desired. Season soup with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup mint.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out terrible. I followed the recipe exactly, but it was just bland and watery.

This soup is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would add more spices and maybe some vegetables.

I followed the recipe exactly but the soup was too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and the soup still turned out delicious. I used ground beef instead of lamb and added some chopped carrots and celery.
