THE STUDIO GREY

Before we move on to the ingredients and the recipe, I would love to introduce the STUDIO GREY collection from DENBY POTTERY. This stunning collection is a cool mix of Grey’s with an Artisan Twist , available exclusively at John Lewis.  Delicious Lentil Tortilla Soup are served in Studio Grey Cereal Bowls.

A little more about this stunning  Studio Grey collection

NEW STUDIO GREY combines urban with artisan in an on-trend grey colour palette, with a range of informal bowls and plates designed using Denby’s 200 years of expertise.

At the heart of Studio Grey is the stunning textural grey reactive glaze, framed by the deep and rich charcoal band and accented with the soft muted grey white. The collection is designed to be streamlined and uncluttered – simplicity is the key. Designed in line with the trend for matt, charcoal kitchens, Studio Grey works equally well with marble worktops and tables, and can be styled to suit any home and occasion.

For those of you reading my space regularly will know how much I adore my Denby Pottery Collection.

  6. I want to make this soup because it looks so pretty and downright cold for mid June – furnace on cold!!! I wonder about the cooking time though. In the text under ‘Steps’ you indicate 12 minutes but in the recipe you indicate 9 minutes. Kindly advise which time is correct as 3 minutes is a lot in the IP for a dish such as this.

    Wow. We loved this I did not have a can of black beans, so I threw in some dried one and extra water to cover it. I used the garnishes and it makes a huge difference each row of garnish changed the flavor of the soup. Just awesome. Best dinner I had in a l[number time thank you
