An easy and tasty soup made from ground beef, lentils, and brown rice.(This post was updated with step-by-step photos and better photos of the finished soup in March 2012; the recipe was first posted in 2007.)   I originally made this soup on a day I was too sick to go the store, and I don't think there's anything that tastes as good or as comforting as soup when it's cold outside. The weather in Utah has been so mild this year that we've only had a few days that were soup weather, but on one of those days I made this soup and enjoyed it that night for dinner.  I have a few containers in the freezer now for those snowy days I'm sure are still going to come.   I did add some balsamic vinegar to the finished soup this time, and I loved the way it perked up the flavor so I'm updating the recipe to add that.Click to continue reading
