If you use packaged stock this recipe is quick and easy.  It is not exactly quick but still easy if you make the stock.  We prefer the flavour of homemade stock but if you are short on time substitute with a good quality packaged stock.  If you find that the soup is too thick simply add more stock or water.

Ingredients

  • 1L / 1.75pts vegetable stock(homemade or packaged)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion – peeled, rinsed, diced
  • 1 green capsicum – washed, deseeded, diced
  • 2 carrots – peeled, rinsed, diced
  • 1 zucchini – washed, diced
  • 1 clove garlic – peeled, rinsed, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 cups red split lentils – rinsed, drained
  • 600g / 21oz bottled tomato puree
