Easy lentil super soup!

This soup is so easy to make, healthy, satisfying and ridiculously cheap! This vegan lentil soup, freezes well and keeps well in the fridge too. It's great on it's own, with crusty bread, or with a butty on the side

In an attempt to cut down on the lockdown calories, I omitted the frying stage of the onion, and guess what, it makes absolutely no difference to the taste of this lentil soup, but cuts out the fat content completely. I literally chucked everything into the pan, simmered, and blitzed, and that was it!

Ingredients

1 and 1/2 litres of vegetable stock

400g carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

1 small onion, peeled and roughly chopped

150g red lentils

1 tsp, dried mixed herbs

Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

Put all the ingredients into a large pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a gentle bubble, cover, and leave for around 30 minutes, stirring occasionally

When the vegetables are soft, blitz with a stick blender. And there you have it, it really is as easy as that!
