red lentil soup

Body: 

we had some good soup tonight, thought I'd share

sautee 1 onion, 2 carrots, 1 stalk celery in some olive oil
add some chopped tomatoes and 1 cup red lentils
5 cups water
salt and cayenne pepper
bring to boil then simmer 30 min
I pureed some of it.

quick & easy & delicious.

I love lentil soup - did you have to soak the lentils first?

I don't soak lentils. they cook in about 30 min
