If you're super lazy, you just put everything in the pot, and wait. Lentils Vegetables of your choosing Maybe two potatoes One or two average sized chorizos A bit of salt A bit of olive oil (something else if olive oil is expensive in your area) A bit of cooking wine Little bit of curry If you don't have soup from previous stuff, you put one of this chicken soup pills, IDK how to translate to english, this how it looks: https://pepekitchen.com/articulo/nueva-presentacion-de-las-pastillas-de-caldo-de-pollo-avecrem/ https://pepekitchen.com/articulo/nueva-presentacion-de-las-p... Fill with water, fire and forget until it's done. You can make it way tastier and more elaborated but this is the most lazy and basic plate, and still tastes good. Well, you still have to cut stuff for a few minutes, if that's any effort.

Bullion. In the US (and I think UK) there's also a dense liquid version (local brand name is "Better Than Bullion") which is quite a bit tastier imo.

  *Bouillon - personally I'd prefer some bullion! :) And I don't think I've ever seen that here in the UK, although I have come across it on the internet beforehand, during a bit of a seach on OTS meat stock and such a few years back. My go-tos are the Knorr Stock Pots and Concentrated Meat stocks, which seem to have similar ingredient lists to yours.

    OXO cubes or Bisto would be the UK equivalent? Or they were when I was a kid..

      UK here. Oxo cubes are still a big thing, for those of us who cook. You can get them in Beef, Chicken, Lamb and Veg flavours. Perhaps others. If I'm cooking a vegetarian meal that needs stock I use Miso paste.

      Sorry, yes - I meant in relation to the person I was responding to, not OP - the bouillon gloop, rather than the cubes. I'd still suggest that Oxo cubes are different beasts to the cubes up there - again, i think Knorr would be an equivalent, as un-British a brand as it is. Not a fan of Oxo - weird composition and not very nice or meaty taste, to me anyway.

A can of crushed tomatoes instead of the cooking wine also yields a good stew. :)

Good recipe. For the vegans out there, the chorizo in your recipe can be replaced with store bought one or homemade as below: https://tasty.co/recipe/vegan-chorizo https://tasty.co/recipe/vegan-chorizo Also below are few more varieties of vegan lentil recipes: https://www.rainbowplantlife.com/blog/how-to-cook-lentils-in-the-instant-pot https://www.rainbowplantlife.com/blog/how-to-cook-lentils-in...

They sell actual chicken stock, too. E.g.: https://smile.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Organic-Chicken/dp/B074VBLF7R https://smile.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Organic-Chicken/... Not as good as home made by a long shot but it is a LOT better than those bouillon cubes (what you refer to as "pills")! Please don't use those ever again, lol

  IDK, the ones I use are enough for that recipe, there's plenty stuff to give taste. You can get that in Spain too but it's just much more volume and weight and I walk my groceries to home. There's one broth brand, Aneto, that actually tastes quite good. I see they even have an english website: https://www.caldoaneto.com/en/caldos/caldos-basicos-en/ https://www.caldoaneto.com/en/caldos/caldos-basicos-en/
