    Excellent recipe, we loved it! We added some yellow squash and zucchini and that added some nice flavor, too. - 3/15/09

    This was good, but I think far more than 4 servings, I'm logging as if it were 8 - so I'm putting in .5 servings. I will be saving this to make again. I used orzo pasta which went very well. - 3/7/09

    This soup is delicious and so low in calories that I can really fill up on it and not feel guilty at all. The only thing is that the serving sizes do not seem to be very accurate. I added an extra 3/4 cup pasta, and ended up with fifteen, one cup servings that were 160 something calories each. - 9/17/07

    This was absolutely wonderful, except for me getting a little carried away with the cayenne. :) When we heat up the leftovers I think I'll add a few fresh basil leaves. Made 6 servings of 1 1/2 cups. - 3/30/09

    I also used dry lentils, and added more liquid (vege boullion). It made a huge batch. Way more than 4 servings, which was just fine with us! I added fresh parsley, otherwise made it just the way it was written. My husband really liked the flavor. Thanks for the recipe! - 3/10/09
