Oh, my goodness. Thank you for this recipe. This is officially my first review for a recipe, ever. I am the kind of cook that has a very hard time strictly following the recipe. Since this was my first time cooking with lentils, I just wanted to stick with the recipe. I made this two weekends in a row. The first time with no changes, the second I used tomato sauce instead of the tomato cocktail (I had none here). I actually like it about the same both ways. My 9 year old (picky) and husband (yep, picky) both LOVED, and I mean LOVED this soup. I served it with cornbread. I do think there definitely is room for adapting to a cook's tastes in this recipe with the veggies used. I think lima beans and corn would be a perfect addition. Thank you again so much for this recipe!!
