When it comes to winter and the colder weather setting in, there’s nothing quite like a good hearty homemade bowl of soup. It’s a go to for my family, with almost every lunch consisting of soup.
Now, when Scotty Brand asked me to create a new soup recipe using their convenient “Soup Mix” bags that come with all the Scottish grown fresh veg ingredients pre-chopped and ready to throw into the pot, I couldn’t be more excited to take a family staple and throw my own twist on it.
That’s where the Vegetable and Lentil Rice Soup came to life.
Using the Lentil soup mix bag, which you can pick up in either Tesco or Asda, I set about trying to create a twist on the classic lentil soup recipe that could be thickened up to be more of a chunky filling meal, or have a little more water added to give a more traditional soup.
I’m very happy with how this recipe turned out and the ease and convenience of using the pre-mix bags make lunchtimes even easier with no compromise on the flavours.
