edibles put them into a pot with some water salty for five to seven minutes and then add your lentils with a painter stock turn down the heat cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes check the levels or your liquids to make sure that there's enough water in there and then after 20 minutes you're going to have a lovely warm a nutritious soup for your lunch or indeed to take the following day and a flask art of us as starter to a main meal so without further ado put me on pause go away chop your vegetables and come on back hello welcome back so we've chopped our veggies and we're now going to push them into the pot with the water just like and then we're going to be cooking though for five to seven minutes just to soften them up a little bit no you're probably thinking whoa that's lots more ingredients than I've got and I doubled my quantities because I'm going to have some and for lunch and I'm also going to free some for later so you could do that too if you wanted to see if you're making a couple of batches and then just our lines ear vegetables in here and they take your timer and then just tiny yourself for about seven minutes checking between the five and seven and then we'll come back and put in the lentils and stop and then we'll leave it to simmer for about 20 minutes put me on home hello and welcome back so our carrot onion and celery mix has been simmering away for about five to seven minutes just so that all gets soft we're now going to add in the red lentils to the mixture like that and then we're going to add in the paint of stock now I'm using a paint because I've doubled my ingredient if you're just making and a spare of the recipe but I've given you it's just half a pint that you'll be using give this a quick stir and then pour it in just like that and then give it a nice stir around again lower the heat unless simmer away under the low heat for about 20 minutes now keep checking it because what you don't want is all the liquid to evaporate in part to catch on if that is the case just keep adding a little bit more but that there should be enough liquid in there now and I'm just going to turn up the heat ever so slightly just so that we can bring it to the boil and then we'll turn it down and simmer it and for our about 20 minutes as ever seen so Larry go turn it down and then put me on hold come on back and we'll be ready and we'll be able to play it up so after 20 minutes your soup should be ready so just taste it to make sure that it's cooked and the flavors are all right and you're happy with it and then just dish it up into a lovely warm bowl and there you have some delicious lentil soup enjoy
