   How to cook lentil soup with meat and potatoes? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use any meat, I used beef pulp.

   When the water starts to boil, open the lid and skim off the foam with a spoon. Add some salt. Then reduce the heat to medium, cook the meat for an hour or an hour and a half (depending on what part of the beef you use for the soup).

8. STEP 8

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it. Place onions, peppers, carrots and garlic in a frying pan and stir and fry for a while.

If you don't like meat, try lentil and potato soup.

Thanks for the recipe. Everything worked out. I just deviated a little from the recipe and fried the tomato along with onions and carrots. small deviations from recipes are acceptable, otherwise there will be no creative process. I affirm that cooking is an art and the cook has the right to see the preparation of a dish a little differently.

The soup turned out delicious. Thanks for the recipe. However, I have dried herbs instead of fresh and table lentils instead of red.
