Ingredients:

  • 85g dried red lentils
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 parsnips
  • 2 small leeks
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 tbsp vegetable bouillon powder
  • 50g peas

4.) Gently stir and simmer until all of the vegetables have softened, the lentils are cooked and the soup has thickened.

5.) Enjoy!
