Equipment
- A large soup pan or stock pot
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 250 g celeriac peeled and chopped into chunks
- 250 g carrots peeled and chopped into chunks
- 250 g waxy potatoes peeled and chopped into chunks
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
- 2.5 cm fresh ginger root peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 175 g red lentils
- 400 g can chopped tomatoes
- 400 ml water
- 1.5 litres vegetable stock
- 75 g cavolo nero kale (lacinato kale) stalk removed, finely shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large soup pan or stock pot gently fry the onion in the oil for about 5 minutes or until just beginning to soften.
- Add your roughly chopped winter vegetables and fry gently for a further five minutes before adding finely chopped garlic and ginger for a minute.
- Add the cinnamon, turmeric, paprika and tomato puree and stir through the vegetable mixture.
- Add the lentils and the tinned tomatoes. Fill the tomato can with the 400ml water, give it a stir to collect any leftover tomatoey goodness. Pour the water into the pan.
- Add the stock, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, pop the lid on and leave it to bubble away for 30 minutes. Stir it every now and again to prevent anything sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add shredded kale and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for a further 10 minutes or until the kale is cooked. Serve and enjoy!
