directions

  • Place the lentils in a bowl with water to cover and let soak for a few hours.
  • Drain and place in a saucepan with the onions, carrots, celery, tomato puree, parsley, and enough water to cover by about 2 inches. This may be more or less than 4 cups. Use your best judgement.
  • Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer until the lentils are tender; about 15 or 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile season the meat with salt and pepper and form into marble sized meatballs.
  • Melt the fat in a pan and brown the balls on all sides.
  • Add the meatballs and the fat from the pan to the soup and simmer until cooked through.
  • Season to taste and serve in heated bowls.
