This is delicious lentil soup tastes a lot better than it looks, I promise! It is healthy, hearty and perfect for those colder days when you need a simple but warming meal.

I used red lentils in this recipe and didn’t cook them prior to using in the soup, hence the amount of liquid I added. I’ve made this a few times using different vegetables but this is definitely my favourite combination, however, you could just add in any vegetables you have that need using up meaning that this recipe is a great way to avoid food waste.

This recipe makes a big batch so is perfect for those who like to prepare lunches for the week in advance or to freeze and eat at a later date. I make this in a large saucepan but you could use a soup maker for ease if you have one. I like this soup with only a little bit of liquid in it but if you want to increase the amount of water used to make it more of a broth then you can.
