Lately, Ive enjoyed this red lentil soup with a chickpea evolution in the evening.

Enjoy your grazing soup early and often throughout the day.

Cook the soup for 2 hours on high heat, stirring occasionally.

tap the cooker over to the warm setting for the rest of the day.

Just before eating your first bowl, stir in the lemon juice.
