Lentil soup

I have just discovered lentils and I am experimenting with them.  This was an unintentional soup - it was supposed to be thicker.

1 cup brown lentils
1/2 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tomato, chopped
8 very small potatoes, diced
1/2 box vegetable broth
to taste - salt, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, coriander, basil

Combine all ingredients and cook on high 6 hours.

Serve with crusty bread for dipping.

Review:  I added WAY too much salt to this and it ended up pretty much inedible.  However I think without all that salt it would be great.  The texture was perfect, rich and creamy but still nice and soupy.  It was nice to have a change from my usual tomato based dishes.
