I love lentil soup and tomatoes and chunky veg, so experimented until I found a good combo! Cheap and easy to make, and very adaptable. I don't like to use salt in cooking, but I think this needs a little, unless you're using other herbs and spices. Ingredients:
5 -6 tablespoons lentils |
1 onion |
3 medium carrots |
390 g chopped tomatoes |
tomato puree |
1 1/2 vegetable bouillon cubes (oxo stock cubes) |
1 liter water |
olive oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the stock cubes in a small amount of boiling water.
2. Slice the onion and fry for 2 mins in a little olive oil. Meanwhile, chop the carrots and then add to the onions and fry for a further 2-3 mins.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes and lentils, a generous squirt of tomato puree and the stock and water.
4. Bring to the boil then simmer for 25 mins then serve.
