The high protein/high iron easy soup you need for your menstrual phase- beef and lentil soup.

Add oil to a large heated pot. Add in chopped onions and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add in ground beef and break apart with a spoon into small pieces. Cook on medium until ground beef is well cooked and no longer pink. Add in tomato paste and stir until beef is well coated. Add in diced tomatoes, italian seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and bone broth. Stir well. Add in dried lentils. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes on low/covered or until lentils are fully cooked. Add in chopped kale and cover again for another 5 minutes or until the greens are soft.
