GREEN LENTIL SOUP

1lt meat stock (I have used beef, -not so good as chicken), 125gr green lentils, 50gr flour, 2tbsp butter, Salt & pepper

Wash lentils and discard any dodgy ones, add water and bring to the boil.  Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed.

Gradually introduce (or bung) in the hot meat stock and sieve or blend with an electric blender (I use a hand blender, NO it doesn't blend hands, least not yet).  Melt the butter, add the flour and stir over a medium heat for 1 - 2 minutes, gradually add the soup.  Cover and let simmer 10 mins.

Is red pepper the same as paprika?

Sorry, -in defence of Heinz Tomato.  I really like it.  But I don't miss it because I make a darned good 'Lynne version'.  Plenty of bunging, sticking and chucking.....[:o)]
