I've yet to meet a child who doesn't like this soup....even the most veggiephobic children seem to enjoy it.
50g red lentils
1 small onion
1 medium parsnip
1 small carrot
2 small eating apples
25g butter
1 tbsp oil
1 rounded tsp curry powder
500ml vegetable stock
1/2 tsp salt
A good grind of black pepper
To garnish:
6 tsp cream and chopped chives
Peel and chop, onion, carrot and parsnip roughly. Wash, quarter, core and chop apples. Heat butter and oil together in frying pan, sweat onion for 4 minutes. Add rest of the ingredients and seasonings. Stir, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the lentils are tender. Purée the soup using a hand blender until smooth. Reheat soup in the rinsed saucepan, adding 200ml of stock. Add more seasoning.
Garnish with a swirl of cream and some chives.
