Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
salt and pepper to taste
2 large stalks celery, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons dried cilantro
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups dry lentils
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then gently place into the hot oil, and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef and set aside, reserving the remaining oil in the pot. Stir in the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, cilantro, and oregano; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 8 minutes more.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, tomatoes, and browned beef. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the meat is beginning to turn tender, about 1 hour.
  • After the soup has simmered 1 hour, add the lentils, recover, and continue simmering until the lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then stir in the parsley. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

I didn't like this soup at all. It was too bland and the lentils were mushy.

This soup was really good! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped carrots and celery.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! It was nice and thick, with a rich flavor. I served it with some crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this soup. The beef broth and vegetables were very flavorful and the lentils added a nice heartiness to the soup.

I made this soup for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the cumin and coriander. They really gave the soup a unique flavor.
