Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Carrot(s)

2 large, diced

Celery

2 stick(s), chopped

Garlic

Dry lentils

1 cup(s), (200g) red vatriety, rinsed, drained

Instructions

  1. Lightly spray a large saucepan with oil and heat over high heat. Cook lamb, stirring, for 3 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Cook onion, carrot and celery, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, cumin and chilli and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add lentils and 1 litre (4 cups) water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until lentils are tender and soup has thickened.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Chopped fresh coriander. TIP: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat soup in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop, adding a little extra water if too thick. Swap it: Lamb for 350g skinless chicken breast fillet (thinly sliced).
