Self-isolation Carrot & Lentil Soup
This is a hearty soup, so will bear some dilution if that’s your preference. It’s very nourishing and the ingredients will be in most kitchens. Ideal for us at present as we’re in self-isolation following an enjoyable but truncated visit to Japan.

Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
* Step 5
Stir in the dried rosemary and continue to simmer for a further 5 minutes.
