Red lentil and butternut squash soup

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat half the oil over a medium heat in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add half the garlic, if using, half the ginger and all the chilli flakes, if using. Fry, stirring all the time, for 1 minute. Add the lentils and fry, stirring, for a further minute.

  2. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer, with the lid off, for 10–12 minutes, or until the lentils are soft.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Add the remaining garlic and ginger and the butternut squash and cook, stirring, for 12 minutes.

  4. Add the butternut squash to the lentils and cook for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and blitz using a stick blender until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
