Spicy Tomato and Lentil Soup

#AllrecipesAllstarsCanada
#Soups, Stews and Chili Challenge
I love soups more than stews. As written this soup would have been more of a stew than a soup. I added another can of tomatoes and more water to make it “soupier”. I upped the spice level a bit too. Added a touch of cayenne and chilli flakes for my tastes.

very good and easy. First time making lentils, and i now like lentils 🙂 This needed a little more seasoning for my taste, so I added 3 cloves garlic and used a whole, seeded jalapeno, 1 full tsp cumin, dashes of celery salt, 1 can fat free chicken broth instead of water and a pinch of mexican oregano. More fresh basil would be excellent in this. I have a tomato garden in bloom so I used 4 medium fresh tomatoes, instead of canned. This is a hearty soup, and excellent with the recommended sour cream and basil garnishes. Thank You!!!
