Thank you Afke for your tips which I do too. I am still to post the "How to Cook Beans" article.

Lentils, like all legumes benefit from a good soaking. Give the soaking water to your plants and rinse well. Be on the look out for little stones when you are cooking lentils and beans. ; French green lentils are a great substitute and double in size and volume when you soak and sprout them for a few days.; Soaked and sprouted lentils are cooked in 10 to 15 minutes. I prefer making a double portion and store ( or freeze) the left overs in glass mason jars.; Great recipe, Diana

Patt, it starts with the water the lentils are cooked in then "adding more water if necessary"

BTW I added above: cooked with water cooked in - Not sure if that was the right way to say it.

Diana, if you are no longer cooking the "stew" with tomatoes, what are you using for the liquid?

Thank you for the Lentil soup receipe! I had a friend a few years ago who used to make it but we are
unfortunately no longer in contact and I never wrote down her receipe. Thank you so much!
