Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Halve and peel the onion. Cut each half into 3 wedges.
- Chop the tomato into wedges.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
2
- Add the pepper, onion, tomato and half the parsley to a lined baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Toss to coat.
- Roast on the middle shelf of the oven until tender, 25-30 mins.
3
- Meanwhile, cut the baguettes into breadsticks 1-2cm wide.
- Arrange on a lined baking tray.
- Drizzle with a little oil if desired.
- Place the breadsticks above the vegetables in the oven and bake until golden and crunchy, 10-14 mins.
4
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with the passata, lentils and stock powder.
- Bring to a boil then simmer for 8-10 mins.
- Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
5
- Once cooked, remove the veg from the oven and blend to a smooth paste.
- Return the pot with the lentils to high heat.
- Add the pureed veg along with 300ml water (double for 4p) and bring to the boil.
- Loosen with a splash more water if you feel it's too thick. Stir through a knob of butter.
- Season with salt, pepper and 1 tsp sugar (double for 4p).
TIP: Allow the veg to cool a little before blending.
6
- Divide the lentil soup between bowls.
- Crumble the Greek style cheese over the top.
- Garnish the soup with chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice) and remaining parsley.
- Serve with the golden breadsticks alongside.
