  4. Stir in the can of diced tomatoes and add water or chicken stock to cover the beans about 1 or so inches, depending on how thick you want the soup.
  5. Add brown sugar, red wine vinegar and carrot, if using.
  6. Boil the soup until the lentils have softened to a satisfactory texture. Add water/stock if necessary.
