Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Fry the onion and carrot in a spoon of butter until soft, add the tomato paste and give it another minute, until it darkens.
Add the lentils, potato and water, bring to the boil and simmer for twenty-five minutes, until the lentils have collapsed completely.
Blend until entirely smooth. The soup should be thick but still pourable; loosen it with boiling water if it is not.
Melt the rest of the butter, take it off the heat and stir in the mint and paprika. Ladle out the soup, spoon the butter over and serve with a wedge of lemon.
