Crock Pot Beef Lentil Soup

"This recipe was printed in our local paper. I was looking for recipes to use the soup bones I got when purchasing a side of beef from our local farmer. This is thick and rich and so easy to toss in the crock pot. Set your bread-maker to be ready when the soup is done, and dinner is served!"

  1. Thoroughly enjoyed this soup. I cooked in my electronic pressure cooker instead & it came out very tasty. I added some kale & increased the tomatoes. Sub'd beef broth for the water/bouillon & cut back the salt. Great soup, thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Delicious! I never use bouillon, so I used 2 cans of beef broth and one of chicken broth. Since the beef broth was not low-sodium, I skipped the added salt. I added a couple of bay leaves and a bit of dried thyme. I also left out the cabbage, since I didn't think it needed the extra bulk. It was really delicious! This is a keeper! Made for My Three Chefs Fall 2009.

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on. I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
