Carrot and Lentil Soup

Taste isn’t defined by the length it takes to cook something or the amount of ingredients if this deliciously moreish soup is anything to go by. Four ingredients, some oil and herbs and you have yourself the most hearty, tasty winter soup imaginable.

Prep/Cooking time 20 minutes | Serves 4

Equipment:

  • A large saucepan
  • A stick blender or food processor

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 600gms grated carrots (there’s no need to peel them)
  • 140g split red lentils
  • 1 litre vegetable stock
  • 125ml milk (whatever kind floats your boat, skim, whole, almond, oat or soy)
  • 1tbsp olive oil
 

Instructions:

  1. Dry fry your cumin seeds and chilli in your large saucepan until aromatic.  
  2. Add all of your remaining ingredients and bring to the boil, dropping to a simmer for 15 minutes. Taste to see if lentils are cooked, if not, simmer for a bit longer.
  3. Once everything is cooked to the consistency you like, blitz the liquid in the saucepan with a stick blender, or transfer to a food processor and liquidise to a smooth soup. 
  4. Serve with some fresh toasty bread and enjoy!
