Roasted Carrot & Red Lentil Soup

This is exactly the kind of soup I love when you want something easy, filling, and proper comforting without spending a fortune. You’ve got sweet roasted carrots, red lentils to bulk it out, and lovely warm spices running through the whole thing.

Oh So Natural Wholefoods Red Lentils are such a handy pantry staple when you want meals to go a bit further.

Why you’ll love it

This one is budget-friendly, easy to make, and packed with flavour. Roasting the carrots first gives it a bit more depth.

Handy tips

Give the carrots enough room in the air fryer so they roast nicely. Blend until smooth, then loosen with more stock if needed.

Serving ideas

Serve it with a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top. Stale bread croutons are a nice extra if you’ve got them.
