1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, then tip in the onion and garlic. Cook over a moderate heat until the onion has softened, about 5 mins.
2. Chop the tomatoes in quarters, then put in the pan and simmer for about 5 mins constantly stirring.
3. Add the lentil, cumin and then the veg stock and stir. Add lots of fresh black pepper to taste.
4. Bring to the boil and then turn down the heat and simmer for about 45 mins until the lentils have cooked and the soup is thicker. If you like a smooth soup, whizz the mixture at this point to form a smooth sauce. I prefer it chunkier. It can now be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month. Also lasts in the fridge for about 5 days.
5. Serve with creme fraiche and fresh homemade bread.
