Tailored to Taste
Lentils make such a great base for soup as they are full of plant-based protein and general goodness. And, once you add some vegetable, you are making a good food decision all round, but still sitting down to a delicious soup. Whenever we test these recipes in the office, most of us end up putting aside lunch and eating this instead!
Ingredients
- 1 pack of The Spice Tailor Classic Lentil Tarka Daal
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil, ghee or vegetable oil
- 200g grated carrot
- 500ml vegetable stock
- 2 tbsp single cream (optional)
- Handful of freshly chopped coriander
Method
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the spices from the whole spice sachet and fry until aromatic and darkening, adding the chilli for optional extra heat.
- Add the Tarka sauce and lentils from the pouches, carrot and stock and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 8-9 minutes until the carrot is cooked and tender.
- Take off the heat, remove the dried chilli and blend until smooth. Add more liquid if it is too thick or cook away extra if it is too thin.
- Stir in the cream and serve garnished with an extra swirl and chopped coriander.
- Serve with hot buttered crusty bread or a bread roll.
