Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrots and cook for a few minutes, stirring. Add the garlic in a space in the middle of the pan and cook for another minute, stirring.
  2. Add the stock, lentils and tomatoes, and bring just to the boil. Simmer with the lid slightly ajar for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Using a hand blender, puree the soup leaving it slightly chunky, then add the cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat another five minutes.
  4. For variation, add some curry powder or ginger for a different flavour. Extra tomato adds more tang and reduces the need for salt.
  5. Serve with anything you like - crusty bread and butter, sour cream, yogurt, chopped parsley or grated parmesan.
