RECIPE OVERVIEW
This soup really delivers in terms of flavour and is super-wholesome for lunch or dinner. It goes great served with some toasted wholemeal pitta bread torn on top. It also freezes well and is a great back-up dinner to have on hand in the freezer.

Method
- Put 3 or 4 tablespoons of water in a large family-sized pan on a medium heat, then stir in the carrots, onion, garlic and salt. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, lentils, rice, lemon zest and juice and all the spices. Pour in the stock and turn the heat up to high. Bring to the boil, stirring a few times, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Taste to make sure the lentils and rice are properly cooked. If they aren’t done yet, let the soup simmer for a bit longer, adding a little more water if necessary. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Just before serving, stir in the parsley, then ladle into bowls.
