This soup was something that I have made countless times, when my kids were small and we had no money feeding three kids and a hungry DH was hard, but this soup was a favourite everyone loved it and my kids still ask me to make it for them, It is so cheap to make a good store cupbord standby and it won't take you all day to make no fancy additions just plain and simple. You can make it with vegie stock. Also you can add a carrot or two. Ingredients:
25 g butter or 25 g margarine |
1 onion |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
2 liters ham stock (you can use cubes) |
300 g lentils (red, don't soak them a wash will do) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Melt your butter in a heavy soup pot.
2. Add your choped onion, and soften in the butter,then add your flour and cook out the rawness for a few minutes.
3. Add your stock and stir well.
4. Then add your lentils and stir well again.
5. At this point add your salt and pepper, but taste as some tastes vary.
6. Bring to the boil and turn down to a simmer.
7. Stir frequently so it won't catch on the bottom.
