    1 Preheat the slow cooker. Add all the ingredients except for the parsley, soured cream and bread. Pour over 3 cups boiling water, stir to combine, then cook for 2 hours on high or 3½ hours on low.

    2 Switch off the cooker, then use a stick blender to blend the mixture until almost smooth (add more water for a thinner soup).

    3 Serve garnished with parsley, topped with soured cream and a sprinkle of ground black pepper, with the bread on the side.

      This was so easy and absolutely delicious. I cook for a fussy crowd and it won a massive stamp of approval! Including from the lentil hater (just omitted the fact that it contains lentils)

      Very Nice. I added extra vegetables and stock. I will make again. My family loved it too
