We LOVE this soup, it's a mainstay in the winter. the flavor really changes, for the better with cooking sherry (we use cream sherry). And it's not the same without the swiss cheese. this is utterly YUMMY!!!! good with corn cakes. - 9/22/10

You are right, the swiss cheese is great on this dish. Its just that I always have Parmesan in the house and sometimes forget to put swiss on the shopping list!

This should not be in the vegetarian section! Chicken broth does NOT make it vegetarian. Too bad I was happy to try this. maybe i will have to play with the recipe and use vegetable broth instead. - 9/26/10

This has good flavor. I would suggest leaving the tomatoes out until the lentils are fully cooked, however. Tomatoes and other acidic foods slow the cooking of beans and make them tough. I knew this, but thought lentils might be different. They're not. - 11/21/10

This is very good. The first time I made it totally as instructed (using veggie broth) and it was way too onion-y for me. This time, with one onion and extra carrot -- perfection. Served over brown rice for a little more substance. Super filling. - 2/5/12
