From a past pst and blog...
Last night I decided to make a recipe that my mom gave me that she makes all the time. A classic hamburger and lentil soup. It was a chilly night, starting to get a cold, and it just seemed warm and comforting to make something from when I was little. So here I am going to share it with you. It is easy to turn vegetarian if you would like, but is simple and delicious and a great new food for toddlers! Sani was raised on this soup, and still loves it! Hope you enjoy it!
3 Tbsp. oil
1lb. ground meat like hamburger, turkey or deer
4-5 carrots, peeled and diced small.
1 onion, diced small
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dried italian seasoning
2 cups lentil beans
1 Tbsp. worchestershire sauce
8 cups beef Stock
In heavy pot heat oil over medium high heat. Add meat and brown 4-5 minutes. Add carrot, onion and half of salt and pepper. Stir and saute for 6-7 minutes more. Add garlic and saute another minute, making sure to stir so the garlic does not burn. Add seasonings, including remaining salt and pepper. Also add Worcestershire sauce. Stir in liquids and bring to a boil. Add lentils and simmer on medium heat with lid on about 40-45 minutes. Depending on lentils some may be getting soft, if not continue simmering another 15-20 minutes. Remove lid and simmer another 10 minutes to allow liquids to start to evaporate and let soup thicken. Add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve with crusty bread.
Makes 8 servings.
Hope this recipe can add something simple but delicious to your menu sometime soon! Enjoy!
