This is a really great recipe, but there is a problem with the nutritional data. The lentils used are COOKED lentils - this is a SparkRecipes problem. They do not label raw/cooked for most of the grains! If you check nutritional data online, you'll find the correct amount for raw lentils. Sorry! - 7/19/11

I made an adjustment to my intro. I don't know if you saw it. The soup makes about 3 litres depending on how thick or watery you make it. I calculated that 3 litres=12 cups and 1 cup/250 ml is one serving.
