I made some delicious soup on Sunday. I’m not blowing my own trumpet but I basically threw the ingredients into the basket, without giving them too much thought (I mean, I’ve cooked soups before).

This were the ingredients:

- 6 Tomatoes, chopped
- 2 sticks o celery, chopped
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 2 onions, chopped
- Few leaves of basil
- 3 chillies
- Black pepper
- salt

Fry the above ingredients for about 10 minutes then add about 1.7 litres of boiled water with chicken stock.

Add Worcester sauce, Simmer for about 2 minutes then add half a tin of sweet corn and half a tin of lentils, then simmer for another 3 minutes.

Blend the whole lot up and then put back on heat and add the remainder of the sweet corn and lentils.

Serving suggestion – In a cup with a dollop of yoghurt and sprig of parsley on top - delicious.
