20p Korma Soup


Originally I called this "spicy lentil soup" when I made it last year for a Sunday gathering with friends. People kept telling me it tasted like Korma, hence the new and improved name. 

Everybody loved it best of all its quick, easy and freezes really well. 

(£1.19, serves 6 - 20p/serving)

1. In a large saucepan combine the following and heat over low flame for 2-5 min, until soft.
