Curried Lentil Soup

An easy to make, no fuss soup. Chunky and full of goodness, I find this is a hearty after school snack, or add a crusty bread roll straight from the oven, and its a great starter.My daughter sent me this version, so I am assumng she has finetuned another she may have seen elsewhere.
