This soup is for your ‘cycle’ days because of the tomatoes.
2 tsp olive oil 1 tsp chilli oil 1/2 tsp each mustard & cumin seeds 1 large garlic clove, crushed 1 large onion, chopped 3 x celery stick, sliced 1 tsp each chilli powder & paprika 1/2 tsp turmeric & cayenne pepper 2 cups red lentils 2 litres of stock made with vegan stock powder 1 tin chopped tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato puree
Heat the oil on a med-high heat & add the seeds. When they start popping, add the onion, garlic & celery and reduce heat slightly.
Cook for 5-10 minutes until soft & then add all the spices and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Add the lentils and mix well.
Add the stock, tinned tomatoes and puree and bring to the boil, then simmer for 20-30 minutes. Blend before serving and add pepper & cayenne to taste.
This soup will keep you warm through any cold ‘trick or treating’ session but if you prefer a less fiery soup, reduce the chilli. I won’t be upset 🙂
