Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan and spray with cooking spray. Gently fry the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the curry powder and fry gently for a few seconds, stirring constantly. Add the carrots, butternut squash and courgette.
  3. Pour in the stock, then stir in the tomato puree and lentils. Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, partially covered, until the vegetables and lentils are tender and the soup has thickened.

Notes

You could use yellow split peas instead of lentils, though the soup will take a little longer to cook.
