Very tasty!!! I used rotel tomatos and cooked in the crock pot. WARNING: The calories in this recipe are NOT correct. The calories include vegetable soup instead of vegetable broth and raise the calories by 70 calories per serving. Actual calories are 170 or so.

Love it, I added mushrooms, kale, kelp, basil, oregano, braggs liquid aminos, thyme, savory and salt substitute. I forgot the tomatos, but it was still delicious. I was hungry for this tonight, sp I did not soak them, but just let them boil awhile longer before adding other ingredients.	Submitted by: OKDOKY (2/28/13) report inappropriate
Here is my variation: use water instead of broth = less sodium; I use no more than 1 tbsp of olive oil to 2.5-3 cup dry lentils (so 1/3 tbsp for this recipe)= less calories; I add 10 cloves of garlic at the end to keep the flavor fresh; skip the celery, bay leaf and vinegar; surprisingly flavorful.

This soup was so easy and delicious. At the last minute it seemed as though I had added too much liquid so I added a couple of tablespoons of dry instant potatoes. I used low sodium broth, low sodium tomatoes, and added no salt, using a no salt herb substitute instead.	Submitted by: BONIFIANT (7/10/12) report inappropriate
I am cooking this in my crockpot today. I reduced the broth slightly. I wonder why the fat is 9 grams for this recipe? Lentils are low fat and everything else but the oil is as well. My suggestion is lower the oil. I added cumin and fresh basil. This smells wonderful, I cant wait to try it!	Submitted by: KIMG709 (5/3/12) report inappropriate
Great recipe! I also tried it using low sodium fat-free chicken broth.	Submitted by: LUVS2BIKE101 (11/8/11) report inappropriate
That is alot of sodium	Submitted by: MISSILENE (8/8/11) report inappropriate
It sounds good, but has much too much sodium. I'd use low sodium ingrediences.	Submitted by: MIMIDOT (12/16/10) report inappropriate
Put everything in a crock pot on low for 5-6 hrs (no presoaking). Added a couple of potatoes, chopped kale, full quart + 1/2 of broth, dried basil & parsley & 1-2 tspns salt. No olive oil or vinegar. Added 3/4 lb cooked sausage meat. We all enjoyed it.	Submitted by: BERRY4 (11/29/10) report inappropriate

Used low-sodium broth and added bell pepper and pre-cooked Italian saugage. Excellent!!	Submitted by: IMJAINE (6/26/10) report inappropriate
Re. high sodium content, to be brief, sodium may be greatly reduced by using Herb-Ox Sodium Free Granulated Bouillon (Chicken, Beef, or Vegetable) instead of the vegetable broth. It has all the taste and none of the sodium. Of course the other canned products will still contribute a lot of sodium.	Submitted by: PAULEAP (6/23/10) report inappropriate
way, way too much sodium (salt)	Submitted by: CAM1023 (6/23/10) report inappropriate
I loved this soup. I had used diced tomatoes with salt so didn't add any salt to it and it tasted great; just added dried basil for flavouring.	Submitted by: GRANDKATZ (5/26/10) report inappropriate
very good and nutrious and not hard to make and I agree to much sodium, I use other spices	Submitted by: SMTERWILL (5/1/10) report inappropriate
Looks really good! I'm gonna do what some other comments said: make my own chicken broth to reduce sodium and add some more herbs such as cumin, oregano, curry, basil, etc. for more flavor. I have some leftover chopped bell pepper to throw in as well!	Submitted by: KATIECHIC7 (4/30/10) report inappropriate
I am on my way to the kitchen to make this using some health food store mixed lentils. The different colors make it attractive. I also will use no salt diced tomatoes. Soup, here I come!	Submitted by: TNTEACHER2 (4/30/10) report inappropriate
I love this soup but would prefer less carbs. I found a recipe for Vegetable Lentil Soup on Spark people that I am going to try. For extra flavor in this soup try "telma" kosher vegetable bouillion. It is the best!!!Also this recipe does not give the amount per serving-does anyone know??	Submitted by: MELANIE1191 (3/2/09) report inappropriate
I made mine with a homemade chicken stock which was very low in sodium so that helped there... I also added some red curry paste and served it with low fat sour cream. very yummy!!!	Submitted by: RICCILYNN (2/25/09) report inappropriate
A low sodium broth is in need here as the level is way to high. You also don't need the vinegar unless you are planning on storing it or canning it as it is a preservative. Also DONT THROW OUT THAT BEAN SOAK WATER! If you have house plants water them with it is loaded with nutrients.	Submitted by: STACIEMOON (2/21/09) report inappropriate
Oil and vinegar are not necessary, and indeed the vegetable broth should be reduced sodium.	Submitted by: SEAGAZER (2/21/09) report inappropriate
Too much sodium.	Submitted by: KHEAL1 (2/20/09) report inappropriate
Wow...the sodium level in this recipe is way too high. I'd make it, with modifications.	Submitted by: AZHIKERCHICK (2/20/09) report inappropriate
This is a great recipe for all of us vegetarians! Tasty way to add protein and fiber.	Submitted by: DEBJNC (2/20/09) report inappropriate
