Super Easy Green Lentil Soup

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp of good quality extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 large clove of garlic, crushed
• 4 medium carrots, diced
• 4 celery stalks, diced
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 200g dried green lentils
• 4 small dried bay leaves
• 2l vegetable stock
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste
• Vegetarian Italian hard cheese to serve (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1.Heat the oil over medium heat in a soup pot, then add the onion and fry until soft and translucent. Then add the garlic and cook together for approximately 30 seconds, stirring continuously.

2.Add the carrots and the celery and continue cooking for 2 minutes.

3.Add the tomato puree and the lentils and mix well. Then pour in the stock, add the bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Cook for 50 minutes to an hour until the lentils are soft and the stock has reduced down (see notes).

4.Transfer about a 1/4 of the soup in a blender or tall beaker if you’re using a hand blender (and pulse until smooth. Add the blended lentil soup back to the pot and stir to combine.

5.Season to taste and serve hot with a sprinkle of grated vegetarian Italian hard cheese (I like to use Ocado’s) and fresh crusty bread or homemade focaccia.
