Lentil and Mushroom Soup

Lentil and Mushroom Soup

with Parmesan Toasts

We’re optimistically looking ahead to warmer weather but we’re not out of the woods yet. With that in mind you’ll be knocking up this chunky, nutrition packed soup tonight to keep the chills at bay. Ironically the toasts will be even better if your bread is a bit stale when you make them so if this is the last meal of the week then all the better!

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tsp of butter (if you have it) in a pot on medium-low heat. Gently fry the carrot, celery and diced garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pull the leaves from the thyme stalk and add these too. Tip: Don’t let the vegetables brown and reduce heat if necessary.
