directions

  • Fill a large pot with two liters of water and bring it to the boil. Add some salt if you wish (though you don't really need to).
  • Peel the carrots and cut them into a small dice (no need to be too specific about size).
  • Boil half of the carrots in the water. Whilst they are boiling, dice the potatos and onion.
  • When the carrots are soft, mash them lightly.
  • Add the vegetable stock and add the remaining carrots, potatos, and onion. Add the lentils now, too.
  • Bring to the boil again and cook slowly until the vegetables are soft, and the lentils have thickened the soup.
  • Enjoy with a hunk of chunky bread.

  1. What a fantastic recipe, so simple to make and yet so full of flavour. I did the soup in a slightly different way. I used only the two litres of stock in which I cooked the carrots and then added the rest of the ingredients. Would be great served with bread and butter/olive oil.
     
  2. Your soup is so yummy! It is quick and easy to make and so full of flavour! The lentils add a hearty touch to the soup and make it thick and filling! I made half the recipe and it served my sis and me perfectly for a generous lunch as a main. Mmmm! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us! I will surely make it again!
