Spiced Carrot & Lentil Soup (from the magazine)

Dry fry some cumin and chili flakes. Add chopped onion, potato and carrot. Add dried red lentils and top up with chicken stock (magazine says use Vecon, though I've used both Knorr and chicken Bovril). Simmer until lentils are soft and veg is cooked.

The magazine says to blitz this afterwards, which I did the first time, but I really wanted more texture. So the second time I made it, I cut the carrots and potatoes into small diced cubes and just left it like that and I think it's much better that way. You feel like you're eating something then and it's very satisfying. It's a really filling soup. A perfect one for helping you get back on track.
