Red Lentil Tomato Soup

I make this soups about 5 times a year. It's from Fine Cooking, and I actually follow the recipe when I make this. It's awesome because you can usually make it without going to the store. At least, if you usually have lentils, canned tomatoes, chicken broth, carrots and celery at home, which I do. It's just enough cooking to make you feel like you did something but it's one of the easiest soups ever, just dice up some onion, carrot and celery, and a little ginger... then spices, lentils, tomatoes and broth. I like to load it up with as much curry as possible, but since it's such a good lunch-soup, I'm trying to hold back a little. My coworkers have made it clear they don't appreciate the lunchroom smelling like curry.
