This soup is delicious and so low in calories that I can really fill up on it and not feel guilty at all. The only thing is that the serving sizes do not seem to be very accurate. I added an extra 3/4 cup pasta, and ended up with fifteen, one cup servings that were 160 something calories each. - 9/17/07

This soup was SO easy and SO delish@ My family all raved about it and were looking FORWARD to the left overs today! This recipe makes WAY more than FOUR servings... I am guessing it should say 14 maybe? I know for us - it will easily serve at least 12 without measuring?! This is now a Fall Favorite! - 9/30/08

I put this in a slow cooker with 1 cup of uncooked green lentils and only one can of tomatoes, a bay leaf, and a little red pepper, thyme and oregano. I cooked it on high a few hours and then put in a half cup of dream fields macaroni for 10 minutes. Then I served it with parmesan cheese on top. - 1/31/12

I've made a number of different lentil soups but I think this is my favorite. I used low sodium chicken broth, 2 15 1/2 oz cans of lentils and ditalini pasta. The consistency was perfect. A little too much sodium though. I'll try dried lentils next time and veg broth. I got 8 1 1/2 cup servings. - 2/2/11

Who knew a lentil soup could taste so good?! I cut the recipe in half. I didn't have any stock/broth available, so I added 1 package of Lipton Vegetable Soup to the 3 cups of water I needed. I also cooked the lentils with a lot of garlic first, so I didn't add more when I made the soup. Fantastic! - 12/8/09
