Easy Red Lentil Soup Recipe

This is filling, quick, cheap and easy, with so few ingredients it’s ridiculous!

1 cup split red lentils
1 litre vegetable stock (or a litre of water and some stock cubes)
1 onion
1 tin chopped tomatoes, or a carton of passata
garlic (optional)

• Chop the onion and saute in a little olive oil.

• When soft, add the stock, tin tomatoes, and red lentils.

• Cover and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.

• Serve with a dollop of natural yoghurt and fresh herbs and wholegrain bread.

• You can add a small tin of sweetcorn, chopped carrots or fresh herbs to it, however it’s lovely on it’s own.
