Lentil and Tomato Soup

This was my lunch today, just what's needed when it's -1C outside!
Serves 4
Syn-free on Extra Easy and Green
Ingredients:
1 tin tomatoes
1 large onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 sticks celery, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
pinch of cayenne pepper
140g red lentils, rinsed
750ml vegetable stock
salt and pepper
fat free natural yogurt, to serve
Method:
- In a large saucepan soften the onion, garlic and celery in a little of the stock or some Fry Light.
- Add the spices and some seasoning and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, lentils and the rest of the stock and bring to the boil
- Simmer for 30 minutes until the lentils are soft
- Use a blender to process the soup until it's nice and smooth.
- Return to the pan and check the seasoning. Serve with a swirl of natural yogurt.

Thanks - this sounds lovely -
Thanks - this sounds lovely - I'm too lazy to skin real tomatoes for soup (plus they're rarely ripe enough in the supermarket) and while I use tinned toms, never occurred to use them like this.
Will try it tomorrow.
