A seed in the soup? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lentil

This clue is a double definition.

'a seed' is the first definition.
(I know that lentil is a type of bean)

'the soup?' is the second definition.
(lentil soup is a kind of soup)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lentil that I've seen before include "Lintel (anag.)" , "Plant - pulse" , "Edible leguminous plant seed" , "Leguminous vegetable" , "Food stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
