Notes
Some users report burning on the base of certain soup maker models. To avoid this, you can add a little oil to the base, but also make sure you have adequate stock/water to boil and simmer the red lentils. Also, give the mixture a stir before setting the soup maker off to prevent any lentils or tomatoes from resting on the base of the soup maker.
