    Method

    1. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and fry until softened. Stir in the garlic, chorizo and peppers and fry for 5 minutes more.
    2. Pour in the stock, add the lentils then bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer and cook, covered for 25 minutes until the peppers are tender.
    3. Blitz with a hand blender, or in a food processor until smooth.
    • Tip: For a chunky texture, only blend half of the soup.
