Warning, this is a Weight Watcher's recipe, which are usually absolutely abysmal, and it's the ugliest thing you've ever seen, but it's scrummy.

3 points a serve, serves 4 and dead easy to make.

1 brown onion, finely chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
300gm (10.5 oz) red lentils
4.5 cups water
4 vegetable stock cubes
250gm (9oz) baby spinach, finely chopped

Spray the bottom of your stock pot with cooking spray. Heat it up then cook the onion and garlic until the onion is softened. Throw in the spices and inhale the divine aromas for a bit.

Stir in the lentils, water and stock. Bring it all to the boil, lower the heat to a simmer and forget about it for 25 minutes.

You can either process the soup until smooth now and then throw in the spinach and heat through, or throw it in first and process the lot until smooth. Either way is good.

You could serve it as is for 3 points or chuck in some grated cheese and serve with thick, crusty bread brushed with a little olive oil and grilled for a substantial dinner. Which is what I did. Yum.
