2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground lamb

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I'll add less water next time.

This soup was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this soup. The lentils and mint helped to balance out the gaminess of the lamb.
