If you don't have Tabasco, feel free to use a similar hot sauce to achieve a comparable flavour or even a pinch of red chili flakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomatoes<\/strong>: his recipe calls for fresh, diced tomatoes, which I prepare by peeling the skin with a serrated peeler. However, if you find that more convenient, canned diced tomatoes are a perfectly acceptable substitute. Just be mindful to choose a reputable brand to avoid the watery consistency sometimes found in less expensive options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock:<\/strong> It's crucial to use the right ratio of stock cubes for the required amount of stock. Not all stock cubes are the same, and using the wrong amount can result in either a bland and watery broth or an overly salty stock. You can use vegetable stock or chicken stock. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomato puree (paste): <\/strong>this is concentrated tomato paste that comes in a tube or small can<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and Pepper<\/strong>: These basic yet essential flavour enhancers are key for elevating the taste of your dishes. No food will ever be bland when these are used to season to taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low Calorie Spray:&nbsp;<\/strong>I use a low-calorie spray with no added emulsifiers or other ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parsley or coriander: <\/strong>it's the perfect finishing touch for the soup. You can skip it if you'd like, but it adds a delightful and healthy touch of green to the overall presentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yoghurt: <\/strong>fat free plain yoghurt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"variations\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Spicy Tomato and Lentil Soup recipe is versatile and welcomes a variety of substitutions to suit your pantry or taste preferences. Below are some suggested variations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sweet Potato Swap<\/strong>: For a different twist on the sweetness and texture, try using butternut squash or even carrot in place of sweet potato. Both offer a rich, sweet base that complements the spices beautifully<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adding Proteins<\/strong>: For an extra protein boost, consider adding chunks of cooked chicken, beef, or even a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Herb Varieties<\/strong>: While parsley and coriander are suggested, feel free to experiment with other herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a different aromatic experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creaminess Addition<\/strong>: If you enjoy a creamier soup, consider blending part of the soup to achieve a smoother texture. Alternatively stir through  some coconut milk for lovely creaminess and to balance the spices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These variations allow you to tailor the Spicy Tomato and Lentil Soup to your dietary needs, taste preferences, or simply to what you have available in your kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"more-soup-recipes\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Soup Recipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you in search of more Low Calorie Soup recipes?

After cooking, allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers or bags. Leave some space at the top as the soup will expand when frozen. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or use the defrost setting on your microwave, then reheat on the stove or in the microwave until hot throughout. Freezing and reheating may slightly alter the texture of the vegetables, but the soup will still be delicious and comforting.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1708308598426\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make this soup in a Slow Cooker?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While I haven't tested it with this method, it should be easy to adapt.  Combine all ingredients except for the optional yogurt and fresh herbs in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Add the fresh herbs just before serving.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1708308672269\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can this soup be made Vegan?<\/strong>

this soup be frozen?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, this soup can be frozen. After cooking, allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers or bags. Leave some space at the top as the soup will expand when frozen. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or use the defrost setting on your microwave, then reheat on the stove or in the microwave until hot throughout. Freezing and reheating may slightly alter the texture of the vegetables, but the soup will still be delicious and comforting.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/spicy-tomato-and-lentil-soup#faq-question-1708308598426","position":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/spicy-tomato-and-lentil-soup#faq-question-1708308598426","name":"Can I make this soup in a Slow Cooker?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"While I haven't tested it with this method, it should be easy to adapt.
