Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Dice leftover meat to 1/2 inch cubes.
  2. In a heavy bottomed kettle, add olive oil, onion, garlic, celery & thyme. Saute several minutes until onion translucent & thyme aromatic.
  3. Add carrots, green pepper & tomatos (no worries if no fresh available - I just had it in fridge & it was looking lonely).
  4. Add Beef beef stock base & saute on low for 25 minutes until base & onions caramelize. Skip beef base if using beef broth instead of base & water.
  5. Add water & simmer for 45 minutes - lid off.
  6. Add lentils & simmer 30 minutes more.
  7. Add chopped greens of your choice & simmer 20 minutes more - less for spinach, more for robuster greens, but low heat to avoid off-flavors from stronger greens.
  8. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
