Tomato-and-dhal soup

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“This is my go-to feel good, comforting soup. Make a lot and freeze in individual portions. It’s a great way to use up lots of tomatoes.”

Ingredients

2 T ghee
1 onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 green chilli, crushed
1 t ginger, crushed
1 curry leaves, sprig
1 T Woolworths hot curry spice
4 ripe tomatoes, quartered
2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup water
300 g red lentils
salt, to taste

1. Heat the ghee in a large saucepan and sweat the onion and garlic for 10 minutes. Add the chilli, ginger, curry leaves and spice and cook for 5 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes and sweat for 5 minutes. Add the stock and water and reduce for 5 minutes. Add the lentils and cook for 20 minutes or until soft. Season and serve with the rotis.
