    Cajun Potato Lentil Soup - Week 37, 2017

    Jump to recipe

    You may be thinking soup in spring - but the seasons are certainly out of whack in the southern states of Australia!  13 degrees all day for most of this week!  WHERE IS SPRING!?!?!?!?!  So this thermomix cajun potato lentil soup is perfect for when the weather decides that it's still very cold!

    Another great bonus to this recipe is that it's a super economical budget buster, but don't let it fool you, it packs a punch of flavour and they won't even realise it's vegetarian!   This is a very thick and chunky soup which makes it a meal in itself for those lazy nights!

    IF you have a protein eater then I think a good serve of chicken would just hit the spot with this!  Either some shredded chicken or a steamed piece of chicken.

    And just to boost up the Cajun :D add in some chorizo, pan fry and use as a garnish when serving!  Oh and as always - good crusty bread is a MUST!  :)
