Beef and Lentils Hearty Soup

(method 1) If you are using uncooked beef, cut in bite size, then brown in the pot you will use for the soup in a bit of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the veggies.

(method 2) If you are using left over beef (I used roasts, hamburger patties and even meat loaf for this, trust me, its fool proof) then saute the Veggies slightly in oil, then add the meat.

Add the spices, broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium heat and add the lentils. Cook until the lentils are to taste. Check it often as the lentils tends to absorb a lot of water. Add a pinch of salt as you add water.

Add the parsley only when ready to serve.
