Lentil soup disaster!

Put it through a fine sieve, at least you will have the stock part of it to use.

Canned tomatoes inhibit the cooking of many things, lentils included. When I include them in soup, I put them in towards the end of cooking time, I have learnt from previous mistakes.
I would put your soup in the blender and give it a good whizz, and hope that does the trick.

Oops, that's what you get for watching tv while reading a post! Bin it and start again.?

Minimoon, I did wonder about the tinned toms. Will try the sieve method. Fingers crossed....

The tomato & lentil soup that I make is always with chopped tinned tomatoes, haven't had a problem, except when I think "that doesn't seem enough lentils", then chuck in some more and end up having to add another tin of tomatoes, which means we have a vat full of the stuff!

Tomato and butter bean soup is good. Use tinned butter beans.

Well, tried everything, nothing worked. Back to good old lentil soup for me then!

I see we use the same method phoenix... always a vat of the stuff here too

I had a very nice swede carrot and lentil soup yesterday. I've not noticed a problem when using tinned toms in soup

Oh that is so frustrating, although I can't stand lentils. I think from being young in the 70's I loathe any of the hippy food I ate to try and be hip! Sorry you had such a bothersome time in the kitchen today Sophiasnana
