This soup is very good and easy to make, I added a bay leaf and some garlic, sage, and liquid smoke. I also used three kinds of lentils, and made it smooth with the immersion blender. This is yummy and healthy, lots of fiber. You can use low salt broth, to make the sodium lower. - 2/16/09

Very good lentil soup! It was fast and easy to make. Thanks for the recipe and I'd like to thank the other members for their advices about seasoning. I added a bay leaf, some garlic. Also, I used chopped ham instead of turkey bacon because I had a lot of ham leftovers...Thanks again! - 5/2/09
