Tomato and Lentil Quick Soup

Ingredients:

• One tin of chopped tomatoes
• One tinful of water
• Two handfuls of lentils

Instructions:

• Add all the ingredients together in a pan and simmer.
• Add flavours – salt and pepper, a teaspoon of mixed herbs, fresh basil and or a spoon of pesto. Or a teaspoon of curry powder. And/or paprika. Or a bit of marmite.
• After about 15 mins simmering the lentils should be cooked.

One thing: when making lentil soup of any kind, it’s best to add salt after cooking the lentils, because otherwise they don’t seem to cook properly.
