Method

  • 1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, then tip in the onion and garlic. Cook over a moderate heat until the onion has softened, about 5 mins.

  • 2. Chop the tomatoes in quarters, then put in the pan and simmer for about 5 mins constantly stirring.

  • 3. Add the lentil, cumin and then the veg stock and stir. Add lots of fresh black pepper to taste.

  • 4. Bring to the boil and then turn down the heat and simmer for about 45 mins until the lentils have cooked and the soup is thicker. If you like a smooth soup, whizz the mixture at this point to form a smooth sauce. I prefer it chunkier. It can now be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month. Also lasts in the fridge for about 5 days.

  • 5. Serve with creme fraiche and fresh homemade bread.
