1
For this recipe you can either use dried and soaked lentils or canned lentils.
2
I use puy lentils or green lentils , but you can use red if you prefer .
3
You can also use canned plum tomatoes or fresh cherry tomatoes.
4
If using fresh tomatoes do not remove the seeds as you will lose some of the health benefits , they will be pureed anyway.
5
If you are using canned lentils rinse them well under cold water and drain
6
Add all ingredients except the sliced tomatoes , cinnamon and sugar into a saucepan, slightly heat the contents in the pan, then puree into a very smooth soup, thickness to your liking.. Heat until cooked through and simmer for about 15 minutes.
7
Stir frequent to prevent setting onto the bottom of the pan.
8
Sprinkle the tomato slices from both sides with the sugar and dry fry in a hot pan until they slightly char and caramelise
9
Serve soup in bowls with the tomato slices sprinkle with cinnamon , add a few sprigs of fresh coriander
