📝 Ingredients:
• 1 large red onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp basil
• 1 tsp chili
• 500g (1.1 lbs) beef mince
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup tomato passata
• 1 can lentils, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups stock (beef or vegetable)
• 3 cups kale, chopped
• Bread, for serving
🍽️ Instructions:
1. Sauté the Aromatics:
In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and chopped red bell pepper. Season with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp basil, and 1 tsp chili. Sauté the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
2. Brown the Beef:
Add the 500g (1.1 lbs) beef mince to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Cook, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and fully cooked through.
3. Add Tomatoes and Lentils:
Stir in the can of diced tomatoes and 1 cup of tomato passata, mixing everything together. Add the drained and rinsed lentils to the pot, stirring to combine.
4. Simmer the Soup:
Pour in 2 cups of stock (beef or vegetable) and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
5. Add the Kale:
Stir in 3 cups of chopped kale and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the kale is wilted and tender.
6. Serve:
Ladle the Tuscan-Style Beef & Lentil Soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
Tips:
• Adjust the seasoning to taste with extra salt, pepper, or chili for more heat.
• This soup can be made ahead of time and tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
