Lentil & Tomato Soup image

This is a really quick to put together and good for those cold winter days. Now that my husband doesn't eat meat, I use vegetarian stock and leave out the bacon.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it came out perfect! It's so easy to just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it cook all day.

I like to add a tablespoon of curry powder to this soup for a little extra flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add a diced carrot and celery to the soup.

I've been making this soup for years and it's always a hit at parties. I like to make a big batch and freeze it so I always have some on hand.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the bright red color of the tomatoes and the lentils are so soft and easy to chew.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. Maybe I'll try it again with a different brand of lentils.

I made this soup with brown lentils instead of red lentils. The brown lentils took a little longer to cook, but the soup was still delicious. I also added a diced red bell pepper for extra color and flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I usually make a big batch of lentils on the weekend and then use them throughout the week in different dishes. This soup is one of my favorites!
