Egyptian lentil soup

Roughly chop the potatoes, onion, tomato, and carrots. Meanwhile, fill a pot with the water and lentils and heat until boiling. Once boiling, add all the other ingredients. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until the lentils have broken down. Blend everything with a hand blender until the soup is nice and creamy, with some or no chunks remaining, depending on your preference. The soup is now ready to serve.
