Detox Red Lentil Soup with Mutti’s Tomato Polpa
A comforting detox soup with red lentils and tomatoes packed with essential nutrients.
Made with Mutti Polpa
Mutti Polpa Finely Chopped Tomatoes is a unique product that combines the juice of the tomato with its thinly diced flesh, and is able to retain all the freshness of just picked fruit. A very versatile product, Mutti Polpa is perfect for both quick cook dishes and dishes that cook slowly or at high temperatures. It takes 5kg of fresh tomatoes to make 1kg of Mutti Polpa. It is made by the patented Mutti cold crushing method which ensures it retains all the flavour and fragrance of a ripe tomato (and is still a closely guarded secret to this day!).

Detox Red Lentil Soup with Mutti’s Tomato Polpa : Method
- Peel and chop the carrots and onion. Use a vegetable peeler to remove some strips from the celery stalk to eliminate the fibrous parts, then chop.
- Place the chopped vegetables in a large pot, add 4 cups of water, and season with salt. Cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes.
- Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and drain them. Add the lentils and Mutti Polpa to the pot, then continue cooking for an additional 40 minutes.
- Once the lentils are cooked, grate the ginger and add to the pot along with the turmeric. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Serve with your favorite fresh herbs for garnish. We’ve used chives and thyme for a fragrant touch.
