LENTIL SOUP WITH BEEF AND BARLEY
This soup is thick and flavorful and can be a lifesaver on those days before payday! It can be extended with more liquid; more veggies can be added or the beef can be replaced with sausage meat, ground veal or ground pork. It freezes and reheats well. Serve with good brown bread or biscuits. I have even tossed in a can of beans in tomato sauce. Good stuff!

- Choose the right lentils. Brown and green lentils hold their shape well in soup, while red lentils break down and thicken the soup.
- Soak the lentils before cooking. This helps to reduce cooking time and makes the lentils more digestible.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the soup. This helps to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
