Recommended

2 Celery stalks (chopped)
2 Carrots (sliced into coins)
1 Large yellow onion (chopped)
2 Garlic cloves (smashed)
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 Dried bay leaf
1 2-inch spring of rosemary
1 tsp Sea Salt
Ground pepper to taste
2 tbsp Soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
4 cup Beef broth
1 cup Brown lentils
1 1/2 lb Beef chuck (cut into 1-inch cubes)

Add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic, tomatoes, bay leaf, rosemary, salt, pepper, soy sauce (or tamari) mustard and broth to a slow cooker. Give it a good stir and make sure everything is well mixed. Stir in the lentils and the beef.

Turn the slow cooker on high. Let the soup cook for at least 6 hours, or until the beef is tender and falling apart and the soup has thickened up considerably. Discard the rosemary stem. Ladle into bowls to serve.
