Notes
There is no need to soak the red lentils; wash them under a cold water tap.
The tomatoes you use will affect your soup taste; I prefer to use on the vine tomatoes; I tend to use between 4 and 6 tomatoes, depending on their size.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can substitute them with a can of chopped tomatoes.
I use a vegetable stock pot because I find they have more flavour than the cubes. If you are using a cube, you might want to add some dried herbs or spices to boost the taste.
