Lentil Soup - a nice broth with bread or a filling chunky variety. This soup is simple to make, nutritious and cheap, cheap, cheap :) Quantities below makes a pan to feed four people.
Ingredients:
red lentils - half a cup to one cup depending how thick you want it
2 onions, chopped
3 carrots, diced
water to cover well
stock of choice (we like a spoon of vecon with extra vits for winter!)
salt if needed, depending on stock used
Place lentils and water in pan and bring to the boil while preparing the other vegetables. Add them and stock, cook until tender. Mash or partially blend if you wish. Ta-da!
Variants:
Add other veg such as diced potatoes and celery or chopped greens near the end of cooking.
Add a tin of tomatoes and/or tomato puree with a handful of pasta to cook along with the lentils for a much thicker hearty soup.
