     Delicious! But the calorie count is off. The .2 cups lentils listed is the COOKED amount but the recipe calls for .2 c uncooked lentils (2 cups divided by 10 servings) and lentils increase in volume about 2.5x. That means that each serving has about .5 cup of lentils so approx 130 cals per serving. - 5/18/10

     I made this soup today and it is very good, I did however add some ingredients to mine. I added 1 can organic fire rosted diced tomoatoes, 1 T. Bragg's Aminos and once it was done cooking and I turned to heat off I add 2 big handfulls of chopped kale. I will for sure make it again and again. - 4/19/10

     Wonderful! Just made this for lunch. Plenty for leftovers. I added chopped spinach (about 4 cups) at the end of the cooking process. Also substituted 3 cups veg broth for water. - 2/23/10

    I often add chopped collard or mustard greens about half hour before finished. And sometimes if I crave meat I boil a smoked turkey leg till there's a good broth, remove leg to cool a bit and proceed with the soup, pick off meat and readd, then add the collards. We call it "hippy soup" :o)

    Upon looking again, I forgot to include "add water as needed as it boils down" to the instructions... I try to omit adding boullion or broth to keep it vegan, but I have added curry and that does add to the flavor considerably. Thanks all for the comments!

     Hi! Ithanks for posting - love lentil soup - but don't see the serving size. Yes 10 servings, but what size? Cup? Half cup? I don't see it. So great to have the calorie breakdown, but for me it is useless without know the svg size and macros. Is it here and I don't see it? - 8/11/19

     I tend to do things the way I'm used to so I modified the recipe a little. I sauted the veggies (in water) and used vegan vegetable broth, but this soup is fine, I will be making this again. This is a keeper. Thanks - 8/28/16

     Thank you! This is one of those recipes that seems to invite variations. I had fresh tomatoes from the garden to add, along with chicken stock. I increased the spices to one tablespoon each. We liked it. - 9/30/12

     This was very tasty, I took several of the suggestions of other reviews, added mushroom bullion to the cooking lentils (keeps it vegan while adding flavor), added 4 add'l cups water and 1 t. curry powder with the veggies and 4 cups kale the last 10 minutes of cooking. Super good! - 1/5/11

     very good, tasted even better the next day. I added water also, about 2 cups, and a can of chicken stock. - 12/2/09

     I made this soup a couple of days ago without using a recipe. Just kind of added what I thought should be in it. I added potatoes and bay leaves. I also used fresh shelled lentils from my local farmers market which significantly reduces cooking time. Delicious! - 11/4/08
  • GINAKINA
     This was alright. It wasn't anything special, it tasted like what you would expect lentil soup to taste like. Very filling. - 10/8/08

  • BCROCKER08
     Excellent... I used about 1 tbsp. of yellow curry and the potato masher for a different consistency. I make this recipe at least once a week, and just try and mix it up a little with other spices. - 4/11/08
