Another winter meal for us. I have been using lentils in soups more often because it is tasty, cheap and good for us! The red wine provided a robust flavor to the soup. I like the use of celery and carrots as it seem to add a sweetness to the dish.
Red Wine Beef and Lentil Soup (Serves 4-6)
200 grams of lean beef chunks
1 cup of red wine
1 cup of mixed lentils soaked overnight
1 ltre beef stock
2-3 cups of water
1 cup of chopped mushrooms
1 carrot chopped
1 onion diced
1 bunch of celery diced
1 can of diced tomato
1 tomato chopped
1 tsp of garlic
Saute garlic and onion. Add beef. Cook till brown. Add lentils and veges tossing them together. Add stock, can of tomatoes, wine and water. Simmer for 2 hours till cooked through. Serve with crusty bread,
What a wholesome winter soup! I agreed carrot and celery do add sweetness to any soup.
