Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lentils:

   • In a medium-sized pot, add lentils and cover with water.

   • Add the cooked lentils and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine with the vegetables and spices.

5. Pour in Broth and Water:

   • Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.

6. Simmer to Perfection:
