made this today and gave Sophie some for her tea, she loved it, got loads left to freeze, for adults just add seasoning.

1tbsp olive oil
1 small onion finely sliced
2 carrots peeled and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove
250g red lentils
1.1 ltr veg stock

heat oil in saucepan and sweat onion, carrot and garlic for 5 mins then add lentils and veg stock.

bring to boil and then simmer for 30 mins.

whizz up once cooked.
