This morning on our Facebook Page I asked what soup recipe of four you wanted posted and this was the winner… I think. There were quite a few responses to sift through. All recipes will be posted over the next few weeks.

My other soup recipes:

I’m addicted to bacon and red lentils so this is a match made in heaven. I loooooooove this soup. What I love most is it can be as thin or as thick as you like. Simply add more potato or lentils to thicken it up or thin it with extra stock. It can suit all preferences.

This is great to freeze. Make up a big batch and then pup it into freezer safe containers and freeze until needed. This goes well with almost any of my bread recipes in the bread section.

I top my soup with a little YIAH Smoked Orange, Garlic and Chilli Salt which is what you can see in this photo.

    Hi, Just wondering if I could double or triple this recipe? Or is the recipe already enough to fill the Thermomix jug?

    Thanks,
    Sascha.

    Fantastic soup. I didn’t have enough red lentils, so substituted with some rice.

    Have made this twice, once in the T31 and once in T5. Great recipe; quick and easy. I add mushrooms to the saute stage. Bath froze the whole lot for week day lunches.
