Lentil Soup
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, diced finely
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed chilli (optional)
4 cups water
2 cubes chicken stock
1 cup red or yellow lentils
Salt to taste
In a large saucepan melt the butter, then add the onion and cook until it is soft and translucent. Add the cumin and chilli and cook until it is fragrant. Then add the water and stock and bring to the boil.
When the liquid is boiling add the lentils. Apparently it is better to add them to boiling water instead of placing them in cold water and bringing it to the boil together. It will be easier to digest. Let the lentils simmer for about 30 minutes, then blend it with a hand blender until you have a relatively smooth soup. Taste it and then season it generously with salt.
