1. Dice leftover meat to 1/2 inch cubes. 2. In a heavy bottomed kettle, add olive oil, onion, garlic, celery & thyme. Saute several minutes until onion translucent & thyme aromatic. 3. Add carrots, green pepper & tomatos (no worries if no fresh available - I just had it in fridge & it was looking lonely). 4. Add Beef beef stock base & saute on low for 25 minutes until base & onions caramelize. Skip beef base if using beef broth instead of base & water. 5. Add water & simmer for 45 minutes - lid off. 6. Add lentils & simmer 30 minutes more. 7. Add chopped greens of your choice & simmer 20 minutes more - less for spinach, more for robuster greens, but low heat to avoid off-flavors from stronger greens. 8. Season to taste with salt & pepper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
