Your recipe for a lentil soup please

[Stumpedasatree]

This is my favourite, but I'd love to hear your recipes. With any vegetables too!

Spicy Dahl Lentil soup
Onion
Garlic
Chilli seeds
Cumin
Coriander
Turmeric
2/3 medium carrots
Red lentils
Tinned tomatoes
Around 750ml of stock
200ml or coconut milk

Fry onion until soft. Add carrots, garlic and spices and fry for another minute, before adding the remaining ingredienrs. Bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until lentils and carrots are soft. Blend if you want a puree like texture, but I prefer as is.

Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and warm naan bread.

Soo comforting in winter.

I more or less follow this one except I usually add bacon instead of sausage if I am using meat. I love a nice lentil soup.

@kinkyredboots @Hedonism this is a favourite here too, make it regularly. Sometimes add a couple of carrots if they need using up.

I make this one loads and my dh made it for the first time last week. I use a pack of normal bacon and fry it at the start. I also grate the carrots. Low salt stock is probably better but I use normal stock and don't add any extra salt.

Lentil & bacon soup

.

Onions, garlic, carrots, homemade stock, add a thumb of ginger and some 'warm' spices- cinnamon, coriander, red lentils. Soo warming.
