- 1 cup red lentils
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 2 (14.4 ounce) cans chopped canned tomatoes
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 cube vegetable bouillon
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Rinse lentils under cold running water and drain. Place the water and lentils in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until lentils just begin to soften, about 20 minutes. Stir the tomatoes and onions into the lentils; bring to a gentle simmer. Crumble the bouillon cube into the lentil mixture and stir until it's dissolved. Simmer for about 5 minutes more, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
