Carrot, lentil and lemon soup
I see your daal, and I raise...
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stick of celery, chopped
1 clove of garlic, squished and chopped
4 medium carrots, chopped/sliced/diced, doesn't matter
4 oz red lentils
1 1/2 pints of stock
zest of half a lemon
2 tbsps lemon juice
Sweat the onion, celery and garlic in the olive oil until soft. Add the carrots and let cook for 5 minutes over a gentle heat. Add the lentils, mix in so covered in oil, cook for a minute. Add stock, simmer until carrots are tender and lentils cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste and the lemon zest and juice, and blend until smooth.

Hi Both - have just been reading your blog for about an hour. It's great to find knitters in the UK - all the blogs I come across seem to be american. Keep up the good work. Will be back! Rhi

Ah, thanks! There are some good UK blogs out there, it's just a matter of finding them... My two current favourites are yarnstorm.blogs.com and ysolda.com- both knitting related and nicely put together.
