  2. Add the onion to the now slightly brown garlic and sauté. Careful, they can get a little snappy.

  3. As the onions turn translucent, toss in red chillies, celery, carrot, lentils to bring out the veggie variety. Stir and add about 1 ½-2 cups of water.

  4. As the water begins to bubble, cover the saucepan for about 7-8 minutes, till the vegetables begin to soften.

  5. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper (according to taste) to the mixture. Add another cup of water to it and bring to a boil.

  6. When the soup starts to boil, add the yummy Del Monte Conchiglie Pasta to the boiling soup and let it cook. Keep stirring it occasionally till it is al dente.

  7. Serve as this amazing blend of flavours, garnished with herbs and parmesan cheese shavings.

Treat yourself to this soup when there’s a nip in the air. It’ll surely cheer you up!
