Tomato and lentil soup with bread

Tomato and lentil soup with bread

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 100 g red lentils
  • 400 g tinned tomatoes, no added salt
  • 500 ml unsalted stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 slices wholemeal bread

Contains: Wheat

Method

  1. Soften the onion and carrot in the oil 8 minutes.
  2. Add the lentils, tomatoes and stock. Simmer 25 minutes.
  3. Blend smooth or leave chunky. Serve lukewarm with bread fingers for dunking; salt the adults' bowls.
Safety: Serve lukewarm; soup holds heat. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Fridge 3 days, freezer 2 months.
Tip: Dunking bread is a skill toddlers love and a way to get soup into a child who will not use a spoon.
