Creamy Tomato and Lentil Slow Cooker Soup image

a spicy soup based on a Breville recipe in the slow cooker's sample recipes. I have modified this a bit - see which version you prefer.Originally it included 4 cloves garlic, 3 tsp minced chilli and you stirred 1/3 cup sun dried tomato pesto through at the end. I found this too hot. Even this version is fairly spicy but yummy! Next time I make it I will leave out the chilli altogether and just add sun dried tomato pesto.

This soup is a little bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I love the creamy texture of this soup. I used a combination of heavy cream and milk, and it turned out perfectly.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have a bag of lentils in my pantry, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this soup changed my mind. The lentils are so soft and flavorful, and they really add to the overall texture of the soup.

This soup is amazing! It's so creamy and flavorful, and the lentils add a nice heartiness. I love that it's made in the slow cooker, so I can just set it and forget it.
