    It really does taste nice. The summer is behind us and we need warm foods. Yesterday I made red Lentil soup. It's a really simple easy and cheap recipe for any time of year. (vegetarian dish) #soup #vegetarian
  • Ingredients red lentil soup

    Ingredients red lentil soup To make a medium sized pot of lentil soup I use 250 gr dried lentils, a tin of tomatoes or 6 fresh tomatoes, 1 large onion, 2 medium sized carrots about 200gm, 1 tbs tomato puree, 2 vegetable stock cubes for 1 ltr water, from the garden I used a few sprigs of time, parsley and celery leaves, salt and pepper. And that's about it.
  • Cut all the vegatables into small pieces

    Cut all the vegatables into small pieces Dice the onion and carrots and add them to a medium sized pot with approximately 1 to 1,5 liters of boiling water. Add the stock cubes and leave it on a low heat simmering for 40 minutes.
  • Cooking the soup

    Cooking the soup After the soup has been simmering for 40 minutes add the tin of tomatoes, some pepper, and a spoonful of tomato puree and then taste it to see if it needs salt. You might not need salt as the stock cubes contain enough sodium for 1 ltr. Take out your blender and give the soup a good 30 seconds to 1 minute whizz. It should turn orange.
  • Cut you leafy herbs and add them to the pot.
