Easy Hearty Beef Lentil Soup Recipe

Easy Hearty Beef Lentil Soup Recipe 

Today is a bit chilly outside and a perfect time to make a pot of hearty beef lentil soup! This recipe is easy and delicious. Welcome to Tess's kitchen. And let's get started! In my soup pot I'm adding a couple tablespoons of olive oil and 1 pound of lean ground beef. I'm cooking and chopping until browned. You can drain the excess fat if too much. The ingredients and recipe for this beef lentil soup can be found in the description box below. Next goes in the chopped onions, celery and carrots. And here I'm using some frozen carrots that I happen to have on hand. A little bit of salt and black pepper to taste and giving that a good stir. I'm letting that cook for about five to seven minutes until the veggies start getting tender. Now the minced garlic and chopped tomatoes and I think both of these really give the soup a lot of depth of flavor. Tossing in some bay leaves, thyme and parsley. And you can adjust the seasonings to your liking. Stirring and cooking for an additional couple minutes to bring out the flavor of all those spices. And now I'm slowly adding some chicken broth. Again, it's what I have on hand but you can use beef or vegetable broth. Bringing that up to a boil and then I will add the lentils. This beef lentil soup is so rich and hearty with great earthy flavors. The kitchen is smelling really good!

(text modified/updated) This is one cup of sorted and rinsed lentils. Giving that a good stir and turning my heat to a simmer. Cooking that for about 45 to 60 minutes until the lentils are tender. You will see the soup thicken and you can add more broth if you want a thinner consistency. This is an easy recipe that you can have ready in 60 minutes. It will feed four hearty appetites and six nice servings. The lentils are done and I'm turning off the heat. Adding some fresh chopped parsley for a burst of freshness! This beef lentil soup is delicious and one of those soups that is always better the next day. It freezes very well. I can taste all the earthy spices. There's a nice texture of the lentils, the carrots give a really good nice note of sweetness and I think the chicken broth brings it all together. I hope you give this easy beef lentil soup a try. I'm sure you will like it.
