Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the onions and carrots for about 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened.

  2. Stir in the garlic and smoked paprika along with the lentils, and cook for about a minute more.

  3. Pour in the passata and stock, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer over a medium heat for 30 mins, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat and whizz until smooth using a hand blender. Eat half now and chill the rest. Will keep chilled for up to three days.
