    Knorr do ham stock cubes, that makes excellent stock for lentil soup. Cumin and smoked paprika, also lift the taste. Also coconut milk gives a good flavour.

    I am not keen on tomatoes with lentils, just a personal preference.

    I always use the kmorr ham stock cubes too. Doesn't taste as good with any other.

    My mil, famous Irish soup maker said my soup was as good as hers!! That's real praise. Hers is made with a ham hock, mine with a ham stock cube and bits of Aldi savers ham thrown in.

    How about some other things with other lentils - Puy or green? One of my standbys when skint is green lentil and parsnip curry - with onions and curry sauce - and I also make a pasta sauce with green or Puy lentils and mushrooms!

    The joy of lentils.

    Cheap and so very versatile and a fantastic source of protein for pennies

    I'm loving lentils
