Didn't see the blend part but I like my soups a little country, so no blending. The tomatoes are chopped out of the can and lentils are small, so it made a hearty but not too chunky meal...

Just as an aside, I tried but wasn't able to get to Dublin whilst you guys were all together. Next visit I hope Kinsale is in you're agenda, it's a great little town & I know you all will love it!

P.S Bart, you are always welcome down here. It's not far from Maynooth & nerd friendly...
