1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
Taste and season with salt as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy your hearty, protein-packed meal.
