Hi all, looking for a really good recipe for homemade lentil soup?

or any other really good soup that you would recommend.

thanks mechelle xx

Why do you brits put so many things into one single dish?!? Simple is best :) here's how we do it here in southern Italy:

Ingredients 2ppl:
Lentils (use ready lentils cans or leave 12 hours dry lentils into cold water)
Garlic
Celery
Peeled Tomatoes
Olive oil

Heat oil and garlic into a pot (dont fry, just heat), add lentils and stir a bit, then add water (the equivalent of the can, it's enough you have half lentils and half water).
When it boils up add:
2-3 big peeled tomatoes (or pulped equivalent)
a spoon of oil
a stick of celery (chop it in big pieces if you like)
two pinches of salt
a bit of pepper/chilli

Cover, let it boil on easy fire for 15 minutes or more if you like it a bit more "stiffed and dry" (just taste it).
When it's done, you can have it like this or add a small piece of butter (stir it cold in you plate).

Buon appetito!
