Just Leave it out . Tomato is used here as a thickener.

Do you think it would be good without the tomatoes, or can you think of anything that would make a good substitute?

Always cook them in water and add to the soup when soft. Cooking in broth or salted water results in tough “al dente ” lentils.

Hi Popoola! I am so excited for you to make this! YOu can substitute the chicken broth with water. Make sure to adjust the seasonings to taste and add any bouillon powder you can lay your hands on. If using bouillon powder, be careful with the salt content. Let me know how this works out for you 🙂 !
