• This divine lentil soup is a traditional family
  recipe passed down from my beautiful mum. It was
  and still is my absolute favourite winter comfort
  food. It also ticks so many boxes, being
  gluten-free and vegan. And the most important
  box it ticks is deliciousness.
• Its an incredibly wholesome recipe packed with
  iron, fibre and all the things our body needs to
  thrive.

• INGREDIENTS -
• Potato Croquettes
• 1 small carrot
• 1 small zucchini
• 1 brown onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 small celery stalk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• pepper or chilli to taste

4

• 1 1/2 cups of french of puy lentils (my absolute
  favourite but can use any type of green of brown
  lentil)
• 2 tablespoons tomato passata
• 2 litres filtered water or vegetable broth (veg
  broth will give a bolder flavour but this soup
  with water is still beautiful)

• METHOD
• Finely dice the onion, carrot, celery and
  zucchini into very small pieces.
• Crush cloves of garlic.
• In a large saucepan heat olive oil and then
  sauté onion and garlic until translucent.
• Add finely diced carrot, zucchini and celery.
• Cook another 2 - 4 minutes until vegetables are
  turning a golden brown colour (without burning).
• Add passata and cook a further 2 minutes.

• Then add lentils (which have been rinsed, no need
  to soak these).
• Add water or vegetable stock along with salt and
  pepper to taste.
• Let simmer for up to 30 minutes or until the
  lentils are cooked.
• If soup is thickening too much, add additional
  hot water or stock, half a cup at a time.
• Always taste for flavour as you go and add more
  salt if needed.
• Serve with crusty bread, wholemeal rice or even a
  short pasta of your choice.
