1

Sort the lentils to remove any stones or debris, then rinse well. Place in a pot with water and cook until fully tender.

Blend the cooked lentils well with an immersion blender. Add a little water if needed, then strain through a fine sieve.

In a separate pot, add the rice, onions, and potatoes with water. Boil until everything is very tender.
4

Once the rice and potatoes are cooked, blend them well with an immersion blender, then add to the lentils. Mix the soup together.

Add the parsley, bouillon cubes, salt, cumin, and butter. Simmer over low heat. If needed, gradually add water to reach your desired consistency.
6

Sauté the ground beef in sunflower oil, then add it to the pot.
