Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Ground beef; (or 1 can broth)
2 tablespoons Tomato paste
3 cups Water
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons Dried mint or a few sprigs fresh mint; cut up
¾ cup Red lentils
1 Potato; grated
1 Carrot; grated
1 small Tomato; grated
½ Green pepper; diced
Additional water

Directions

RED LENTIL AND VEGETABLE SOU

* 2 bouillon cubes may be substituted for broth.

In a 2 quart saucepan, brown the ground beef. (If using broth or 2 bouillon cubes, mix with water and continue.) Stir in tomato paste, then water. Add salt and mint and bring to a boil. Add lentils and vegetables and boil over medium heat until tender (45-50 minutes), adding more water while cooking to nearly fill the pan. Adjust the seasoning.

Note: Red lentils can be found in natural foods or Middle Eastern markets.

They should be small and bright orange colored. The larger dull orange lentils are not as tender.
