This is the best lentil soup I've made. I used turkey ground beef and fresh mushrooms. It was delicious!

I had to add about three cups of chicken broth because all you could taste was the vegetable juice. I also added 10 cloves of garlic because it was really bland.

Good overall, but a little lackluster in flavor.

A good, nutritious soup. Solid recipe, but I think some garlic would be a nice addition.

This was such a surprising recipe - much better than I anticipated and easy. I used fresh sliced mushrooms instead of canned and followed some of the other reviewers advice and "spiced it up" a bit - red pepper flake, paprika, a couple dashes of hot sauce. The end result was like a cross between vegetable soup and chili. Quite tasty.

I liked this as a base recipe. I did not have any beef broth and I suspect it would have been better, but I used chicken broth instead. I did not use mushrooms, just didn't sound good and I am not really a fan of canned mushrooms anyway. Following the other suggestions, I added 1/2 tsp each of dried parsley, thyme, and basil. Also added two bay leaves and 1/4 tsp ground celery seed. I think it needs some additional seasoning to really bring the flavors out. Overall a very good soup recipe - next time I will zest it up with cayenne pepper - this time we just added it on the side.

Would have been better if my lentils cooked through. Not too bad.
