Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until onion has softened. Add carrot, celery, tomato and potato. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
 

 Step 2
Add stock. Season with pepper. Cover. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until potato is tender. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Add lentils.

You could replace chicken stock with beef, vegetable or salt-reduced stock.

Serve soup topped with fresh herbs, chilli flakes, pure cream, sour cream, croutons or cooked chopped bacon.

To blend soup, use a stick blender, jug blender or food processor.

Freezer tip: This soup is suitable to freeze after blending. Freeze flat in a snap-lock bag or spoon into an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue recipe, adding extra stock if necessary.
