Easy Lunchtime Soup

I had some leftover lentils in my pantry, and no idea what to do with them, so made up a soup - it turned out OK, so here's the base recipe, and changes can be made from there!

Ingredients:
1 cup red lentils
1 packet tomato soup (I had a dried packet)
2 cups water
1 carrot, grated
1 onion, diced
oil to cook onion

Method:
1. Put water, soup mix and lentils in a saucepan, and bring to the boil.  Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer.
2. Fry onions until golden brown, then add onions and carrots to soup.
3. Continue to simmer until lentils are tender and carrot is cooked.

Next time, I might try adding some more grated vegetables and experiment with different flavoured soup packets - adding some bacon pieces would be rather nice too, I think.  Fry it up with the onions, then pop it in the soup.
