Lentil and Pepper soup
I never measure anything so I apologise, but I think it is more fun to put in what you feel is the right amount of things! I have guessed here, but I love this recipe, it warms you up and is very satisfying.
One tin of whole or chopped tomatoes (you can also use fresh, but I like this soup because it makes use of staples I can buy and save for later!)
2 whole peppers, red or yellow.
cupful of dried red lentils (or more if you like!)
red onion, as much as you like according to taste (although I suppose white would work!)
vegetable stock, made up to around onepint or more, depending on how thick or watery you want your soup!
pinch of mild curry powder
roast peppers in oven either whole or sliced, with a dab of oil or spread.
meanwhile, put lentils in a pan to cook according to instructions.
slice onion and sweat in oil until going clear.
heat up vegetable stock, add tomatoes onion and peppers. blend with a hand blender or put in a food processor ( iuse a hand one so I can check the consistency, I like it not too thin)
add lentils, put in pan on a low heat, add a pinch of mild curry powder to taste.
