Easy Soup Maker Red Lentil Soup

Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the carrots and slicing the leek. Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear.

Place the vegetable or ham stock, rinsed lentils, chopped carrots, and sliced leek into the soup maker chamber. Ensure the total volume does not exceed the maximum fill line of your machine.

Select the ‘chunky soup’ function on your soup maker. Don't be concerned if the liquid looks foamy at the beginning; the foam will naturally disappear as the soup cooks.

Once the cooking cycle is complete, verify that the lentils and vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve hot with a scatter of fresh chopped parsley.
