Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup

soupdragon - this is my grannies old recipe, it is so filling and easily does as a main meal, and might seem high in ProPoint for what is essentially a veg soup, but its so filling !

You will need a large soup pot, bigger than your normal saucepan.

300 g red split lentils (26 ppt)
3 large leeks
1 large swede
3 kg carrots
3 stock cubes (2 ppt)
1 large onion

Half fill the pot with water, add the lentils and the stock. Allow to bubble whilst you prepare the other veg.

Grate 3/4 of the carrots and 3/4 of the swede. Chop the remaining carrots and swede. Chop the leeks.

Add all the veg to the pot, top up with water and then simmer away for about 3 hr. Check on it, don't let the lentils stick to the bottom of the pan.

All the veg will cook down and I find that most times the soup doesn't need blended
