Instructions
1
In a large pot, add 1 pint of cold water, bay leaves, and green lentils. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the lentils start to soften.
2
While the lentils are simmering, peel and chop the onion and carrots. Once the lentils are ready, add the onion, carrots, and halved button mushrooms to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Next, add the roughly chopped potatoes to the pot. Lower the heat and cook until the potatoes are tender and nearly cooked through, which should take about 10-15 minutes.

Crumble in the beef stock cube and add the cold, cubed corned beef. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

If the soup is too thin for your liking, you can thicken it by mashing some of the potatoes or stirring in a little flour mixed with water. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
