Method:

1. Heat olive oil and butter in saucepan until butter foams.
2. Add carrots, turnip, onions, leeks, celery and potatoes. Stir-fry vegetables until they become translucent and start to soften. This should take about 10 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes, butter beans, bay leaves, lemon thyme and garlic to vegetables in saucepan, and season with salt and milled black pepper. Add reserved cooking liquid and cold water. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
4. Add lentils and continue simmering, covered, for about 20 minutes.
5. Remove from stove and finally add parsley, extra garlic and lemon peel, which will add a glorious flavour. Taste once again, you may well need a little extra salt.
6. Serve in a heatproof saucepan or soup tureen. Sprinkle thick slices of crusty white bread with olive oil and sea salt and toast lightly. Serve with soup.
