Instructions
Over medium-high heat, pour the oil into a large pot. Sauté the onions until they turn soft and translucent. Next, toss in the garlic and all the spices, cooking for a few more minutes until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, red lentils, and water. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the red lentils soften, which takes about 10-15 minutes.
Lastly, stir in the kidney beans, black beans, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, sugar, and soy sauce. Cover the pot and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the beans are warmed through. Enjoy!
