I'm always looking for quick soup recipes, but this one didn't note that the lentils should be cooked before adding to the other ingredients. I made that correction to the recipe. With uncooked lentils, it's not a quick recipe and requires at least twice as much liquid. I like the sweet taste of canned stewed tomatoes but they should be chopped up a bit before adding. BTW, usually come in 14.5 oz cans, not 19 (in the USA, anyway). Just made these changes to the recipe. When I sauteed the onions I added 1 Tb garam masala.

Way good! This little guy is quick, hardy and easy. Next time I think I'll add a few carrots and celery. Thanks for a quick easy meal, with ingredients I typically have on hand. Made for Nov.bev tag. A real keeper.

This is a great quick soup, and can be low in sodium. I threw it together and let it cook while I prepared another soup and some chili. The lentils were a bit underdone but when re-heated they were fine. I froze about 1/2 of it. Very nice soup.
