Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the tomato purée and continue cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the washed lentils, bulgur and rice to the saucepan. Pour in the hot water and stir.
Bring the soup to the boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer over a low heat for about 20-25 minutes until the lentils and grains are completely tender. Stir occasionally.
Add the salt, black pepper and chilli flakes and stir. If desired, blend half the soup with a blender for a smoother consistency.
