Linda's lentil soup is a complete meal in a bowl. It is lovely served with thick wedges of granary bread, or it can be made into a more substantial meal by serving it with dumplings.
Perfect use of our Vegetarian Sausages or Rosemary & Red Onion Sausages
Recipe By Linda McCartney (Linda McCartney On Tour from 1998)
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped onion, carrot and celery, and chilli if using, and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the garlic and spices. Cook for a further minute or two, then stir in the lentils. Gradually stir in the stock and the tomato juice. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Cut the grilled sausages into thick slices. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the sausage slices. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
