Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion, carrot, celery, chorizo and fry gently for a few minutes.
  • When the vegetables begin to soften, reduce the heat. Add the garlic, cumin, chilli and water. Cook the ingredients gently for 10 minutes until soft.
  • (To increase the flavour, try dry-frying the cumin seeds for a few minutes before adding them to the soup).
  • Add the lentils, water and stock cubes. Turn up the heat, bring to the boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are soft.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. For a more 'rustic' soup, serve as it is. Or use a blender to liquidize the soup for a smooth consistency.
