Steps:
- Finely chop the onion and leek and set aside, then chop the carrot, potato, and neep into small cubes, size dependent on how chunky you'd like the soup.
- Heat the pot and add the butter or butter alternative. Add the onions and leek and cook for about 5 minutes. Don't allow the onion to brown.
- Rinse the red lentils in cold water. There is no need to soak them.
- Add the rest of the vegetables and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the stock and lentils.
- Bring to a boil then turn down to simmer for 40 minutes. You may need to top up with a little extra water if the soup gets too thick.
- Serve with bannocks, crusty bread, or oatcakes.

Steps:
- Heat the stock in a large pan and add the lentils. Bring to the boil and allow the lentils to soften for a few minutes.
- Add the carrots and leeks and season (don't add salt if you use ham stock as it will make it too salty). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45-60 mins until the lentils have broken down. Scatter over the parsley and serve with buttered bread, if you like.
