Lentil, carrot and potato Soup

This is a perfect soup for cold winter days, it is super thick and tastes great with either bread or crispy croutons. All the soups i make at barnehage a dairy free but this soup would taste great with a bit of cream swirled on top just before eating. Also adding a pinch of chilli powder to the soup while cooking adds an extra kick.

Serves 4

2 tsps vegetable oil

600 gr carrots washed and chopped

140gr red lentils

1 lt vegetable stock

2 sticks celery

1 large potato peeled and chopped.

In a large saucepan add the oil and celery, fry until a bit soft then add all the other ingredients. bring to the boil then simmer for about 20 mins until the carrots and potatoes are soft. Puree the soup up until it is smooth, taste to see if you need any extra seasoning and serve. with warm bread or coutons. you can also add some bacon or chopped ham if you need a little extra something. enjoy
