1. 1Heat oil in a big pot over medium heat, add onions and garlic, cook for a few minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
2. 2Add the tomatoes & the juice, mash them up in small chunks with a wooden spoon.
3. 3Add the chicken broth, leaving about half of a box for thinning the soup later.
4. 4Turn heat to maximum, add the parsley and the lentils. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until lentils are soft.
5. 5Add the masala, curry and chili flakes half way and mix well.
6. 6Serve with fresh parsley for garnish, with some freshly ground black pepper, and a small wedge of lemon. It really kicks it up a notch (unfortunately I didn't get the lemon when I made this, boo!)
7. 7I put this soup into individual microwavable containers for lunch, and before taking them to work, I would add a bit of chicken broth, because it thickens up quite a lot
