Tomato and Lentil Soup

It has rained quite a lot in the last week, so it's not surprising that I wanted to eat warm and filling soups. I made one of them with still Lithuanian tomatoes and red lentils. This tomato soup is summery, but the lentils also give it a real autumnal feel.

Although I'm not the biggest fan of legumes, I'm really fond of red lentils. They don't need to be soaked, they cook very quickly, they have a pleasant flavour and they are ideal for a wide range of soups and stews.

The thickness of the soup I have provided is adjustable to your own taste. I myself poured quite a bit of water into the soup, so it was a bit like a stew. I pureed part of the soup with a food processor. This method has proved itself time and time again - the soup is thick, but at the same time you can taste the vegetables.
