- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

- Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

- Stir in the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, topped with optional cheese, sour cream, or fresh herbs if desired.
Variations and Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with plant-based meat alternatives or mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
- You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or corn for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the lentils against the side of the pot with a spoon and stir.
- This soup freezes well, so you can make a large batch and store portions for later meals. Just reheat on the stove or in the microwave when ready to enjoy.
