Emailed in from Jennifer Hutchinson. For those cold, dark winter months, something to warm your cockles and brighten your days.
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 parsnips, peeled and diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
Chicken or vegetable stock
A small cup of red lentils, rinsed well
1-2tbs East Coast Chilli Company Chipotle Ketchup (Desire)
Dash of cream (optional)
Instructions
Place vegetables into a saucepan and cover with the stock
Bring to the boil, add the lentils, turn down the heat and simmer for 15 minutes
Towards the end of the cooking, add the East Coast Chill Company Chipotle Ketchup (desire) and heat through
Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly then blend until smooth
As Jennifer says: “This will produce a stunning, orange, smooth soup, which can be enhanced further by a dash of cream. It will keep in the fridge for at least 4 days. It can be altered by using any vegetables that do not change the beautiful colour, eg leeks or cauliflower.”
