Money - Saving Tip

Freezes well. To save money, you could have this more than twice this week or freeze for next week lunches too.


Method

  1. Mince the green chilli and garlic together, and the parsley and coriander together. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot and add the minced onion and cook for a few minutes, until translucent.

  2. Then, add the celery, and cook for a few more minutes. Add the green chilli, garlic, and half the coriander and parsley. Cook for two minutes before adding your mix of spices. Everything should come together like a paste, but you can add a little water if it needs some moisture.

  3. Once it comes together, add the diced tomato and cook until softened. Now add the canned tomatoes, stock, water, and lentils. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to medium low.

  4. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked. Then thicken the soup by adding the tomato paste, chickpeas, orzo, and flour.

  5. Diluting the flour in water ensures that it won't just add clumps, and will evenly thicken the broth. Pour it in slowly as you stir the pot. The soup is done once the orzo is cooked through.
