This Spicy Tomato and Lentil Soup recipe is made so simply in the Thermomix. It is a fabulous way to warm up on the coldest of days!

Full of veggies, nutrient packed and on the table in half an hour, I only created this recipe today but can already tell it’s going to be a regular around here on busy weekdays.

It uses a lovely mix of herbs and spices, a good dose of veggies and a squeeze of lemon at the end to lift the flavours.

This lentil soup is a hearty Thermomix meal, that can be left chunky, or blended down to a smooth consistency if preferred.

First, place onion and garlic in mixer bowl. Chop.

Now add oil and saute. Then add ground cumin and ground coriander and saute.

Next, add capsicum, zucchini, carrot and celery. Chop.

Now, add tinned tomatoes, lentils, paprika, chilli, thyme and stock paste. Then, add water up to the 2L mark inside the bowl. Cook 25 minutes.

After this cooking time, the lentils and vegetables will be soft and the soup is almost ready. Add some fresh lemon juice – this lifts the flavours.

Now, blitz for a few seconds. This adds a little creaminess, yet leaves plenty of texture.
