RED LENTIL AND VEGETABLE SOU
* 2 bouillon cubes may be substituted for broth.
In a 2 quart saucepan, brown the ground beef. (If using broth or 2 bouillon cubes, mix with water and continue.) Stir in tomato paste, then water. Add salt and mint and bring to a boil. Add lentils and vegetables and boil over medium heat until tender (45-50 minutes), adding more water while cooking to nearly fill the pan. Adjust the seasoning.
Note: Red lentils can be found in natural foods or Middle Eastern markets.
They should be small and bright orange colored. The larger dull orange lentils are not as tender.
