This is a simple example recipe post. Replace it with your own ingredients, notes, and photos when you add a real recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable stock or water
  • Salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon to taste

Method

Soften the onion and carrot in a little olive oil. Add the lentils and stock, then simmer until everything is tender. Blend if you like a smooth soup, or leave it rustic.

A small squeeze of lemon at the end keeps this soup bright without making it fussy.

Home Notes
