Method

Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the squash, paprika, tomato purée, oregano, lentils and 500ml of the stock. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Set the remaining stock aside.

Add the reserved stock to the pan, then purée with a hand-held blender. Return to the heat and stir in 3 tbsp of the crème fraîche. Season to taste.

Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Add to the soup. Divide the soup between four bowls and swirl in the remaining crème fraîche. Serve with bread.
