Introduction

Inspired by being broke, hungry and with a boyfriend addicted to spicy things, this soup will happily make 6 normal servings, perhaps a little more, or 3 to 4 "giant mansize" servings!

Ingredients

    1 white onion, finely chopped
    2/3 carrots, cubed
    1 medium sized butternut squash, cubed
    1 large sweet potato, cubed
    2 medium parsnips, cubed
    100g red lentils
    Dash of olive oil
    Chicken stock (about 3 pints)
    Black pepper
    Paprika
    Cinnamon
    Chili powder

Directions

Put the lentils in cold water to soak.

Peel and finely chop the onion.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions and two or three tablespoons of stock. On a moderate heat allow to sweat until completely soft.

Peel and cube the vegetables into 1cm cubes.

Add 1/2 the vegetables and 1/2 the remaining stock. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the remaining vegetables and stock. Simmer for 15/20 minutes, until vegetables are cooked through.

Decant 1/2 the soup into a separate bowl and liquidise. Return to the original pan (gives a nice variation of textures).

Drain and add the lentils and cook gently for a further 10 minutes.

Makes around 6 servings of about 2.5cups each.
