Lentil Puree

Soak the lentils overnight in the stock. The next day, peel and dice the carrot, potato and onion and shred the washed leek. Saute the onion and leek in the margarine or oil until soft, then add the carrot and potato and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the lentils and stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for about 40 minutes or until lentils are soft. Puree if wished.
