Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions and fry for 5 mins until softened. Tip in the remaining veg and cook for another 5 mins, adding the chilli and cumin for final 2 mins.
  2. Add the lentils and stock to the pan. Bring to the boil, then lower heat and simmer for 25 mins until veg are tender and lentils are soft. Blitz until smooth with the milk and a little extra water or stock, if necessary. Season, then reheat until piping hot.
  3. Ladle into bowls and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped coriander.

    A gorgeously tasty soup with just a hint of spicy heat! Lovely on its own, but even nicer with the greek yoghurt and coriander!

    Absolutely delish. Used 2 heaped teaspoons of cumin rather than tablespoons as other half not too keen on spicy. Didn't bother with the yoghurt to serve.

    This was really easy to make and tasted wonderfull. I used red lentils instead of green as that's all I had in. I would definately make this again. 5 Stars!

    I found the soup a bit too sweet, next time I would make with ordinary potatoes rather than sweet potatoes as parsnips are sweet as well.
