smoky tomato & lentil soup

smoky tomato & lentil soup


Smoked paprika is one of the most magical ingredients. If you can’t
find it the soup will be OK without, but I highly recommend tracking
some down.
This ia great pantry recipe to have in your repetoire for when you
need a quick impromptu meal.

2 cans lentils (400g / 14oz)
