  • thanks Pink, I don't want to add any meat to mine though, just keep it all lentils and pulses really but I don't want the soup to be runny, I like it nice and thick, do I just boil it and simmer it for a few hours? or do I add conflour to make it thick?, I really have no idea!

    When I make it I just simmer the pulses and veg for a couple of hours until they're soft. If there are peas in your soup mix it may take up to four hours for them to soften. I add loads of veg to make the soup thick but I know that some people (thriftlady I think, but I could be wrong) makes her soups thicker by starting off by making a roux.
