Ingredients

    200 gr lentils
    200 gr chopped carrots (fresh or frozen)
    2 cloves garlic
    1 soup cube (vegetable, chicken or beef)
    2 tsp paprika
    1 tbsp tomato paste

Directions

soak green lentils for a couple of hours. Add lentils to a large pan, add all other ingredients except for carrots, cover with water, bring to boil and then simmer for 15 minutes. Add chopped carrots (frozen work very well too!) and simmer for another 15-20 minutes.

Option: you can add a sausage to this soup and cook it together with lentils. For a lighter version, add chopped hot dogs along with carrots...

This is light, filling, healthy, and, yes, cheap!!!
Enjoy!
