Moroccan Tomato Lentil Stew (Soup) image

I always get great feedback from friends with this soup - tis my signature dish!!! The spice amounts are for a mildish soup. Add more if you like it spicy. To save time, use 2 cups of tomato pasta sauce with the soup stock as the base (instead of the leek, tomatoes etc)
