So the weather’s getting colder and its time to start wrapping up and fueling our bodies. I invented this delicious soup today at lunchtime! All organic, clean, healthy produce and 100% vegan too. So easy anyone could do it and only takes 20mins!

Ingredients (serves 1)

• 1tsp coconut oil
• 1/2 brown onion, roughly chopped
• 1 carrot, roughly chopped
• 1tsp vegan bouillon powder
• Black pepper
• 35g dry weight split red lentils
• Gem squash, roughly chopped
• Handful of kale, large stalks removed

Instructions

• Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan and add the onions, allowing them to soften.
• Add the Carrot, Lentils, Black pepper, Stock powder and boiling water. Leave to simmer 10 mins stirring occasionally.
• Add the Gem squash and continue cooking until the squash is done.
• Add the kale and stir through. Transfer the soup into a blender and wizz it up until smooth.
• Serve with a little black pepper to taste and some bread of your choice.
