Hearty Lentil SoupIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 15 oz. can lentils
1 14.5 oz. can stewed tomatoes (or diced tomatoes)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
sea salt to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Directions:Combine lentils, tomatoes, vegetable broth, garlic, oregano and red pepper. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the olive oil. If you want it thicker, leave out the vegetable broth. This is so simple, but full of flavor.

if you have dry lentils how much extra time would you add to the cooking process? as far as I know, i have never seen lentils in a can.

You can find lentils in a can at health food stores like Whole Foods or Alfalfas or in the natural section of a big grocery store like King Soopers or Jewel.

I tried this but I found it too tomatoey which made it too sour.

Canned lentils are found here in Food Basics, Zehrs Foods, Price Choppers and many other supermarkets. For less tomato taste, cut tomatoes down by half and add 1 cup of grated carrot. Add 1/2 cup broth or water and add your favourite seasonings to taste.
