I made this today from scratch, and no recipe to hand. With storms overhead we had no wish to make the journey to the store, and we had few ingredients in. It was well worth it though!
Ingredients
3oz Precooked Red Lentils
1 800g Carton of Tomato Frito [or similar - pasata for example]
1/2 Pint of Chicken or Vegetable Stock
1/2 Onion, finely chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, crushed
Method
- Saute Onions & Garlic in a little olive oil until soft
- Thrown in the precooked red lentils, tomato frito and stock
- Simmer gently for ten minutes.
- Season & Serve with crusty bread
Told you it was easy!
You may blend if you wish, but I prefer to serve it as is. The red lentils tend to fall slightly, and it is a lovely warming rustic soup this way – ideal for winter warming.
