Just made a cracking soup that was amazing. The recipe came from the British Heart Foundation healthy eating app. It was so tasty and is mega low cal.

It serves six and took less than 30 minutes to prepare/make.


Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 sticks celery, finely chopped

2 carrots, coarsely grated

55g (2oz) split red lentils

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

850ml (1.5 pints) vegetable stock

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

Heat oil in a saucepan. Add onion and celery and cook until soft, stirring.

Add carrots, lentils, cumin, coriander, stock and black pepper. Stir to mix.

Cover, bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until carrots and lentils are soft, stirring occasionally.

Blend with a hand blender

Serve

Enjoy!

    Yeah would probably work with a potato masher if you didn't have any blender. We used the hand blender as you can just bung it in the pan.

    Just a little time saver for people, I made it again today and didn't bother grating the carrots, I just chopped them up small and it worked fine, and saved some grater time.
