Ingredients

  • 100 g spanish chorizo sausage (£1.49)
  • 200 g red lentils (£0.28)
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes (£0.56)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chilli powder

Instructions

  • Chop the chorizo into cubes and add to a large saucepan on a low heat. Cover with a lid and let the oils diffuse out of the cubes for around 5 minutes.
  • Add the diced onion and garlic and fry for a further 5 minutes, increasing the heat slightly. Season with the smoked paprika and chilli at this stage.
  • Pour the chopped tomatoes, lentils and 750ml chicken stock into the saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Soup should be chunky and smooth at this stage and its ready to serve! Add a dollop of greek yogurt and some extra chilli flakes if you’re feeling super spicy.

No extra salt needed as the chorizo usually has hella salt already added xx
