    This is delicious. Thanks. We had never used lentils and loved them. - 4/7/12

    I made this last night and it was really, really good. I had to stay away from the Jalapenos as my dad would not eat it if I put them in. The broth was just a little hollow without that kick, so I used a dash of cayenne pepper and paprika to pick it up. Yum! - 7/19/11
