Very easy and filling. I used 400g of potatoes with 300g or so of other veg & 1L of veg stock. Turned out very well without the need for cream.

Goes well with "Quick & easy flatbreads".

Found this very thin and tasted of nothing. This recipe basically relies on whatever stock you’re using. Not fit for purpose BBC.

question

Could you swap the potatoes for lentils?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes you could use lentils instead - just adjust the amount of stock you use as needed and you may need to cook it for longer if using dried lentils. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.
