150g/5oz carrot, roughly chopped
300g/11oz onion, roughly chopped
100g/3½oz red lentils
1.3 litres/2¼pt vegetable or chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp curry paste, or to taste

Top tips:
*** Butternut squash is also ideal for this recipe as it is part of the Pumpkin family. Also a mug of our Slimtone Butternut and Red Pepper Soup would make a good Winter Warmer while enjoying the bonfire and would certainly be welcome after Trick or Treating.
***Another tasty idea for Halloween is to make up the Cream of Broccoli soup on page 27 of your Lifestyle plan. Serve in a large cauldron and you will have a hot filling “Witches Brew”…………
