SOUP-ER
LENTIL & SMOKED BACON SOUP

RECIPE (BORROWED) FROM CULLY’S MUM.
Lentils are to India what the spud is to the Irish; except they are a soup-er food (hee hee)
They provide plenty of protein, cholesterol lowering soluble fibre and about twice as much iron as other legumes.
This keeps “soup-er lentil” fighting fit in his quest to rid the world of nasty soups!

Roasted chickpea, parsley and smoked paprika oil. Drain chickpeas really well in a sieve; toss them in a hot frying pan with a little oil until they sizzle. Meanwhile chop a good handful of parsley and mix with ½ a teaspoon of smoked paprika and a good glug of olive oil. Stir in your chickpeas and float on top of soup.
