A comforting and hearty soup made with lentils, ground beef, and aromatic herbs, perfect for a cozy meal.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
Browning the beef adds depth to the flavor of the soup.
Combine the cooked beef, lentils, diced tomatoes, celery, onion, garlic, water, basil, oregano, thyme, and bay leaf in the crockpot.
Stir the ingredients well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Set the crockpot to low and cook for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.
Cooking on low allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Bay leaves are not edible and should always be removed before serving.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
