I love this Smoky Tomato & Red lentil soup.
I added a little bit of ginger to mine but you can make it exactly how you like it. Will be making this again!
I love Dairy Diary and the recipes which are quick, easy and tasty. Also the reminder stickers, hints and tips. Have been using them for at least 5/6 years. Would be lost without it –
