ooh sounds yummy, going to buy the ingredients and give this soup a go...

That sounds so yummy. I got back from my walk in the rain and just had to make it. I didn't have any dry lentils so I threw in a can of chick peas and a can of borlotti beans and a can of corn for good measure. I can't wait for it to cook LOL

This is a yummy soup and so easy to make...perfect for winter.

3 bacon rashers
1 carrot
2 sticks celery
1 onion
1 clove garlic

Chop and soften in a pan with a little olive oil and add a tablespoon of tomato paste, cook for a minute

add a litre of chicken stock
400 gram tin of chopped tomatoes
2/3 cup of lentils
oregano or rosemary and salt and pepper

cook for a 30-40 mins until lentils are soft. Yum!

It thickens as it cooks so is very filling. Serve as it or sprinkle with a little parmesan.
