Lentil and Pea Soup

• 1 cup lentils
• 5 cups stock (i use miso paste with water)
• 12 cup chopped onion
• 12 cup chopped carrot
• 1 large garlic clove
• 1 cup peas (frozen is fine)
• 2 tablespoons peppermint leaves or 2 tablespoons mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves
• salt and pepper

1. - chop the onions and garlic and sweat off in a pan
2. - then add the carrots and leave for a few minutes to slightly soften.
3. - add the lentils and the stock and salt and pepper (to taste - i don't use too much at all as the miso paste stock i use is already salty).
4. - leave this to simmer for a good 50 minutes, then add the peas and the herbs and more seasoning if needed.
5. Leave to simmer for a further 20 minutes and blend just before serving.
6. et voila!
