Beef and lentil soup
Description
A hearty first course. You can choose any meat for the broth, but beef makes it richer and more aromatic. Garlic can be added to taste, although in my opinion, it gives a more pronounced flavor. Prepare this soup and the result will pleasantly surprise you. Serve the soup hot.
