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. - 6/23/10

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. - 1/22/13

This is a delicious lentil soup. You can change the vegetables
to suit what you like and have on hand. I used chicken stock instead of vegetable broth because that's what I had. Also I used white wine instead of vinegar, again that's what I had on hand. In other word, the recipe is versatile. - 9/23/12

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! - 5/3/12

This is one great soup. I added 3 cups fresh spinach but did not add the tomatoes until after the lentils were completely done. It takes longer to cook the lentils if one adds the tomatoes at the beginning. Just add them about 5-10 min. before serving so that they get heated all the way through. - 2/6/12
