I am so annoyed that I made this after dinner because I would have loved to have a whole bowl now! I had a couple of spoonfuls and loved it. I can just tell this is one of those recipes that is going to taste even better the next day too!! I will be using this recipe a lot I added stock to the tender lentils before adding the tomatoes. I also had no fresh chillies so I used a tsp of chilli flakes instead and the heat was perfect. Thanks so much Tish!

This was a nice hearty soup. Easy to put together. Next time I think we'll use broth for some of the water in order to give it a little more flavor.

This made an excellent soup, Tish. I also used fresh tomatoes instead of canned. A nice blend of spices and textures. Husband and I took this to work for lunch. Very filling, hearty, flavorful, and best of all, healthy. Thanks for sharing it.
