PUMPKIN AND LENTIL SOUP
I was clearing out all the supermarket recipe leaflets and cards and all the cut out recipes that kept piling up in my kitchen. I thought I'd post the ones that I liked the look and sound of here, to share and for future reference. This way you might find something you like and my kitchen gets decluttered! If you try it before me let me know what you think. This one is from the monthly Asda magazine. It's cheap to make and sounds delicious, I think. The weight of the pumpkin refers to it peeled and deseeded.

Steps:
- Cook the lentils in the water with bullion until al dente, then add the pumpkin and spinach. In a separate skillet cook the onion in the olive oil until translucent, then add the spices. Stir for a few minutes and then add to the soup. Puree the soaked sundried tomatoes in a blender, then add half the soup and puree for another 30 seconds. Add back in and then stir in the coconut milk. Season to taste.
- Note: If using So Delicious Coconut milk, the calories come to 207 per bowl. I like using this brand because it is low calorie and still gives a wonderful creamy texture to soups.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. There are many ways to flavor lentil soup, so find a combination that you enjoy.
- Cook the lentils until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add the pumpkin puree towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to preserve its flavor and color.
- Garnish your soup with fresh herbs, croutons, or a dollop of yogurt. This will add extra flavor and texture.
