Lovely warming carrot and lentil soup is perfect if you're looking for an easy and healthy lunch. Serve it with a hunk of crusty bread and a dollop of Greek yoghurt for a simple meal or winter warmer.

1. Place a tbsp of olive in a large pan and place over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2 min or until tender and translucent.

2. Add the diced carrots and lentils to the pan and cook for a further 30 sec.

3. Stir in the remaining soup ingredients and allow to simmer for 20 min. If it starts to look a little thick, add a little more water to thin it down as required.

4. Once cooked, blend the soup until smooth using a hand blender or food processor. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Enjoy!
