Question, New at cooking these meals but when I was shopping for lentils it did not indicate red or any other color could it be that there is only one kind of lentil bean or is there truely a red lentil beans that I need to look for. Thank you all for your receipes I'm not much of a cook.

Lentils do come in different color varieties. The typical grocery store usually only carries one kindd. But if you go to a HFS or Whole Foods or Wild Oats, you can find the lentils in red, green, black... I get the red lentils in the bulk bins at Whole Foods or Wild Oats.
Incidently, red lentils are suppose to be the easiest type of lentil to digest, so it's a good one to start with.
I hope you find them...they are very good!

Does it say or do you know how many calories are in this soup?

No idea... you'd probably have to figure it out the hard way by calculating.  Sorry!

can this be made without the diced tomato or with mock tomato sauce as a replacement?

I'd guess you could substitute veggie or low fat chicken broth without any trouble. Might puree a bit of the soup when it's done cooking to thicken it as the broth will be thinner than the tomatoes.

Would I just double it?

You just need something to replace the 14oz tomatoes called for. I'm not sure what the mock tomato sauce you were asking about is, but don't know why that wouldn't work.
If you tolerate roasted red bell peppers (the kind you can buy bottled) you could puree some of those with liquid to replace the tomatoes too.
I'm actually betting you could just omit the tomatoes and not even replace them, and not notice much difference. Worst case is the soup looks a little too thick, and you have to add more liquid of some kind.
Soups are nice and forgiving that way!

the mock sauce is on the recipe board. Carrots and beets pureed together.
