MAKE THIS A BREKKIE/LUNCH OPTION:
Cook the Italian vegetable soup with the lentils and some ditalini pasta (or any other small pasta shapes) to make a really good minestrone.
Steam the seasonal vegetables and enjoy them as a cold salad with a few olives, cherry tomatoes and homemade French vinaigrette
- Empty the Italian vegetable soup into a shallow saucepan and cover with the lid.
- Place the shallow saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a simmer stirring occasionally for 8 - 10 minutes.
- Once hot, remove the shallow saucepan from the heat and set aside until needed.
- Place the seasonal vegetables into a steel sieve or steamer, and sit it over a deep saucepan with about 500ml water.
- Cover the deep saucepan and seasonal vegetables with a lid and bring the water to the boil over a high heat.
- Once the water begins to boil, let the seasonal vegetables steam for 8 – 10 minutes.
- Once your steamed seasonal vegetables are ready, remove them from the heat and carefully transfer them to a serving dish. Season the steamed seasonal vegetables with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Spoon the lentils into the microwavable dish and cover.
- Place in the microwave on high for 2 minutes or until hot.(allow the lentils to stand for 2 minutes before removing the cover as there may be some steam build-up)
- Spoon some hot lentils into your bowl, add some steamed seasonal vegetables and then finish with a ladle full of Italian vegetable soup.
*If you don’t have a microwave, you can heat the lentils by adding them directly into the soup once its boiled*
