My hearty soup..

A hearty, easy to make soup.

This is the way I make lentil soup..

Makes enough for roughly 6-8 portions.

Measurements are not exact.

Add ingredients to preference.

1. First, fill the kettle to max – in our case this is 1.7 litres.
2. Put the water (hot or cold) into a large soup pot, and turn on the heat.
3. Measure half a mug of red lentils in to sieve.
4. Wash the lentils under cold water. (the amount of lentils is very much up-to personal taste)
5. Add the lentils to the water in the pot.
6. Add 3 veg stock cubes (I prefer the gel ones)
7. Add a little garlic (optional) – I use puree for ease.. usually just half a teaspoon.
8. Add your preferred veg – I add 2 carrots, 1 finely chopped leak, 1 finely chopped onion.
9. The stock cubes make it plenty salty enough for me, so i don’t add any more salt.
10. Add a few twists of black pepper.
11. Add some finely chopped parsley.
12. Bring to boil, stir – then simmer for 30mins..

Ready to eat.

Nom Nom Nom!!

After it has cooled – you can refrigerate (or freeze i guess) and then take out and reheat as needed.
