Ingredients

220g butternut squash, peeled

½ large red pepper, deseeded (100g)

½ medium onion, peeled (75g)

2tsp vegetable oil

½ tsp dried herbs

50g dried red lentils

Small slice wholemeal bread (1 portion) 25g

Method

Step One De-seed butternut squash and pepper and dice into small pieces. Dice the onion.


Step Two Heat the oil in a pan and add the butternut squash, pepper and onion. Cook until starting to soften (5 to 6 mins).


Step Three

Add the oregano, water and lentils. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes until the veg is soft and the lentils are cooked. Add a little more water during cooking if needed.


Step Four

Set aside to cool a little before blending until smooth (or leave with a chunky texture if preferred). Then put ¼ of the soup into a bowl, and freeze the other 3 portions for other days.


Step Five

Toast the slice of bread and cut into toasted fingers to go on the side.
