Notes

Here are some great tips to ensure your Tomato Soup turns out delicious:
  1. When making this soup, always use high-quality spices and oils.
  2. Whenever possible, choose organic vegetables for added flavor and meganutrients compared to non-organic options, which may contain harmful pesticides and herbicides.
  3. For this soup, use red lentils only.
  4. Allow the soup to simmer to allow the flavors to meld together and the lentils to become tender. Simmering also helps the soup thicken naturally.
  5. Blend the soup thoroughly if you prefer a smoother consistency. If you prefer a chunky consistency, blend partially.
  6. Taste your soup before serving and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
