Remove the stems from the tomatoes, halve them, and puree them finely in a blender. Remove the stems, the light-colored middle walls, and the seeds from the bell peppers, and cut them into small pieces. Place the water and tomato puree in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the lentils and the bell pepper pieces with a little salt and sugar, to taste. Bring back to a boil and cook for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Season the soup again to taste (tip: if you like it spicier, add a little more chili or pepper). Ladle the soup into a bowl or plate and serve garnished with the finely chopped basil leaves.
