Recipe Summary Amazing Tomato-Red Lentil Soup

This is the best soup I've ever tasted, if I do say so myself. It has a lot of flavor and is amazing on its own, but extraordinary coupled with freshly baked whole wheat bread. It's become a family favorite!

Ingredients | Cooking Red Lentils In Rice Cooker

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 red onions, chopped

1 (10 ounce) basket cherry tomatoes

1 red bell pepper, julienned

4 cups water

1 cup red lentils

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice

4 tablespoons dried basil

1 ½ teaspoons salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat until bubbling. Add onion, reduce heat to medium, and cook and stir until onions are browned and slightly translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and bell pepper; cook for 1 minute.

Add water and red lentils, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until lentils are cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Add diced tomatoes with juice, basil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Don't reduce the salt--the salt is very important to the flavor of the dish. If you want to add a bit more of basil, salt, or pepper, do so, because when I make it, I admit to eyeballing sometimes.
