Spicy Lentil and Tomato Soup

January 29, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is a lovely soup that you can make very easily and quickly with ingredients that are usually on hand. Lentils, tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and spices are a store cupboard essential and I always have onions, celery and garlic in my vegetable basket.

Lentils are so versatile and can be used in so many dishes but soup is one of favourite places to use them. They are low in calories and high in iron and protein.

This soup can be stored in the fridge for a number of days and can also be frozen.
