Chunky Lentil Soup

- 2 cups lentils
- 2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes in tomato sauce
- 2 red onion onions, diced
- diced garlic cloves
- diced ginger root
- fresh basil leaves
- dried basil
- salt
- pepper
- 4 cups water

I sautéed the diced onion, garlic, salt pepper, and diced basil in the pot until the onions were soft.

I then added the rest of the ingredients to the pot, brought everything to a boil, and then turned it down to a simmer. I cooked it until everything was tender, adding water as necessary. The final result was think and chunky.

I also put the hand blender in and ran it for about. I didn't completely puree everything, so it's still decently chunky.
