Chunky Tomato Red Lentil Soup is just like your favorite cozy tomato soup but amped up with red lentils for a much more filling and satisfying protein rich meal! Pair it with toasted bread or even grilled cheese.
Bring a pot to medium heat and add olive oil, coating the bottom of the pan. Add diced onion, and saute until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and warm through, 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until bursting, 4-5 minutes. Add tomato paste, veggie broth, red lentils, coconut sugar and salt. Mix everything well, and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat to a simmer and cook until red lentils are cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Once ready to eat add fresh basil to each bowl and stir through. Enjoy with some toasted bread or crackers!
