Ingredients

  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic diced
  • 1 large carrot roughly chopped
  • ½ cup red lentils
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • ½ tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 can of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 red pepper roughly chopped
  • 1 can butter beans drained and rinsed

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan on a low to medium heat. Add the onion and garlic with a splash of water and cook for 5 minutes. Add herbs and cook for a further two minutes.
  2. Add the carrot and stir. Cook for a further 2 minutes before adding the lentils, stock and tomatoes. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the lentils are cooked. Blend until smooth, then return to the heat and add the roughly chopped pepper and butter beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the butter beans have warmed through, then serve.
