SAUSAGE AND LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium setting. Place the sausages on a shallow baking tray and grill for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown all over. Turn half-way through cooking. (Alternatively heat a dry frying pan over a medium-low heat and fry the sausages until browned on all sides). Allow the sausages to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and carrot and fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent and the carrot softened. Add the garlic and thyme sprigs, and fry for two minutes or until they become aromatic.
• Pour in the lentils and stir round with the vegetables. Add the stock and roughly mash the lentils with a potato masher, then add the sliced sausages and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently over a medium low heat for 10 minutes or until the soup has thickened slightly. Add hot water if the mixture is becoming too thick.
• Remove the thyme sprigs, then season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot.
