Cook with Us #29 Budget Meal - Tomato and Lentil soup

This was a really easy challenge for me - although I don't have much in proof of what I spent. I can only say it was very little.

My final plating on this delicious low-cost Tomato and Lentil soup served with Rye Bread

I only spent 1 euro on a whole packet of tomatoes and 1.50 euros on an enormous loaf of bread that sliced into 20 slices.

Really not kidding about the size of the loaf - enough to feed an army

My soup consisted of
One small onion
5 Fresh tomatoes - about a quarter of what I bought for a euro
1 Tin of tomatoes which I found in my mothers pantry
One green and red pepper
Himalayan Salt and Black Pepper
Small helping of red lentils

So I'm not crazy about visiting the market every Saturday morning but more and more realise how much money we save by going to our local farmers truck.

All of the above ingredients just thrown into the slow cooker - to do their own thing and cooked for 4 hours on the low heat
This was a really delicious soup and will feed our family of four for two meals.

It really is amazing how if one is creative and inventive you can really make a meal for very little spend.
