This is another of my favourite soup recipes, very warming, very filling, and very moorish.  Best served with some good hunks of fresh wholemeal bread.

Ingredients:

  • 3 onions (corsely chopped)
  • 2 carrots (corsely grated)
  • a sprinkling of chilli flakes
  • 500 grams red lentils
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1.5 litres vegetable stock (2.5 pints)

Method:

  • Fry the chopped onion in a little oil/butter to soften until just turning golden.
  • Add the spices, the carrot, hot stock, and lentils, and stir well
  • Bring to the boil, and then reduce to a simmer
  • Simmer for around 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
