Serve this soup from Come Dine With Me Dundee in large, warmed bowls with smokies and freshly baked scones and butter.

1. Put all the grated vegetables in a large saucepan and stir in the red lentils. Place the bacon joint in the centre and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and leave to simmer very gently for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add extra water if necessary.

2. Remove from the heat and transfer the meat to a board. Cut into small pieces, then return to the soup and reheat gently, stirring constantly. Adjust seasoning to taste. (You probably won’t need any extra salt.)

3. To make the smokies on toast, mash the fish with the butter and spread onto hot toast. Place under a preheated medium grill and cook for 1-2 minutes until hot. Serve the soup in large, warmed bowls with the smokies and freshly baked scones and butter.
