This post is a bit of a change from beauty and fashion, but thought I'd share one of my favourite homemade soup recipes, it's super easy and you will love this over the festive period.
This spiced carrot and lentil soup recipe is a spicy twist on a classic soup, it's low fat too so you can indulge in more of your chocolates over Christmas!
I originally found a recipe here, although I've made some changes as I've started to make it more and more.
This recipe serves 4 and you'll need:
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp crushed chillies
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 large carrots, washed and chopped (or grated - it's up to you)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 140g split red lentils
- 1 litre hot vegetable stock
You'll also need a hand blender or food processor to blend your soup together at the end.
To make this hearty soup, heat a large pan and dry-fry your cumin seeds and crushed chillies until they begin to jump around, then take half of them out and set to the side. In the pan, add in the rest of your ingredients - olive oil, carrots, onion, split red lentils, vegetable stock and chilli powder.
Bring to the boil and then let this simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, until your carrots are soft and your lentils are soft and swollen.
Now use your hand blender or food processor to blend your ingredients together until smooth or as smooth as you like your soup. Season with salt and pepper and your spices which were left to the side earlier, and that's it! It's super healthy and super tasty, you could also serve this with yogurt since it is a spicy soup or with some warm bread (yum!).
Do you have a go-to homemade soup recipe? Let me know if you try this one out!
