Winter vegetable & lentil soup

I think it's mean to make fun of British recipes for having no flavor and relying on a long boil as the only cooking method but here we are. Add some vegetable soup seasoning mix and pan fry the vegetables before cooking.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly. Made with parsnips but no leeks. Also instead of cube bouillon I put marmite in for that umami flavour. And most definitely no coriander (I have the soapy taste gene!) Mine came out quite thick, so I served it on top of sticky rice with vegan lardons. I think the dish really benefited from the saltiness of the lardons. So, consider adding a side with some salt. Overall very good, loved the flavour!

Could have done with spice, will try adding cayenne pepper and fresh chilli, and some fresh coriander next time. Perhaps a tbsp of white balsamic vinegar will add a bit of a different dimension.

Ground coriander…. Replace with fresh coriander

Not a big fan of the thyme! Had to add tomatoes to make it edible!! Needed salt and pepper too!

Really good soup. The whole family loved it. Full of veggies! I did use chicken broth and still added the veggie bullion.

One of our favourite soups

tasted bland and needs more spices. i added extra rosemary, tyme and salt and pepper. recipe did not state in which order to cook the vegetables in

just didn't come out good
