Beef and Lentil Soup image

Not having any barley, I decided to try a recipe from my favourite soup cookbook. Against my usual practice, I added 1/2 tsp of salt to the soup pot. It does add to the flavour.

Yield 6 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb beef shank
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
6 cups water
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme, preferably fresh or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 clove
1/3 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
3/4 cup red lentil
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Add olive oil to a soup pot. Over moderately high heat, brown soup bone. Add onion and garlic and cook over moderately low heat until onion is transparent.
  • Add 2 cups water and the tomato sauce and simmer until beef is tender.
  • Add spices, potato and lentils and the rest of the water and simmer over low heat until the lentils have lost all definition and potatoes are tender, approximately 25 minutes.
  • Season to taste. I added 1/2 tsp of salt which seemed about right for me.
