Gather
  • 200 g split red lentils (whole red lentils work too)
  • 1 litres boiling water
  • 1-2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • *additional extras garlic powder/dried mint/chilli flakes
Prepare

  1. Wash the lentils thoroughly in a sieve then add to a large pan.

  2. Put the heat on high and carefully add the boiling water and the salt.

  3. Bring the lentils back to the boil, reduce the heat to simmer, cover and leave for 30-40 minutes.

  4. Add the black pepper, then check the consistency is as desired and the seasoning is good. For a thicker soup, cook a bit longer, or add more water if you prefer a more liquid soup.

  5. Serve hot or warm (I like it cold too)!

  6. Enjoy!
