Step 1
We wash the meat with water and cut it into small pieces. Place the meat into a pot, cover with 2.5–3 liters of water, add salt, and wait for the water to boil. Add lentils into the cold water. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. One hour after the meat broth starts boiling, add the potatoes and lentils to the pot.

Check if the potatoes are cooked. If so, add the vegetables from the skillet to the pot and continue simmering the soup for another 15 minutes over low heat, leaving the lid slightly ajar. Add the spices. Once the soup is ready, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs. Cover with the lid and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.
