Make it

Method

1. 01

   Rinse the dry red lentils, finely dice the onion and carrot, and measure the passata and paprika; keep the yogurt cold to add only after cooking.

2. 02

   Rinse the dry red lentils under cool running water until the water is mostly clear. Dice onion and carrot small so they soften in the same time as the lentils.

3. 03

   Heat the measured oil in a saucepan, soften onion and carrot for 4–5 minutes, then stir in paprika for 20–30 seconds.

4. 04

   Add passata, lentils and enough water to cover generously. Simmer gently for 20–25 minutes, stirring from the bottom, until the lentils have broken down and the soup is creamy.

5. 05

   Adjust thickness with hot water if needed. Remove from the strongest heat and spoon the measured yogurt onto each serving rather than boiling it into the soup.

6. 06

   Divide into 4 bowls and serve hot.
