Lentil soup disaster!

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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