Steps

1In a large pan, heavy bottomed pan heat the oil on a medium high heat and add the shallot and garlic. Fry for a minute or so allowing the shallot and garlic to soften.
2Add the chorizo and stir through giving it about 30 seconds to give off its colour and flavour. If you are using raw chorizo you may wish to give it a little bit more time here. Remember though, it will have enough time to cook through later.
3Add the thyme, tomato pure, paprika powder and lentils. Stir the lentils though and then add the stock.
4Add a little bit of salt and some black pepper. Cover your soup and allow it to simmer gently for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are cooked and softened to your taste.Check for seasoning and serve.
