This was very good, but seemed to be missing something. The following day I added cut up chicken to the leftovers and it seemed to give it a more well rounded flavor.

Fabulous! I soaked the lentils in water for 24 hrs and then used 3 cups of lentils. Small changes: Added 2x the amt of the 3 seasonings, and some extra garlic. I used chorizo that I had already grilled, and then cut in half circles. I made sure I used the celery leaves too, for some added flavor, and a 1/4 cup of parsley. I blended the soup with an immersion blender to make it thicker. Delicious!

Cheap, nutritious, filling, and delicious. An excellent soup that I look forward to making lots this fall/winter. Not pretty colour-wise, but anyone brave enough to try it will fall in love. Has the power to make believers out of celery/lentil haters. Make sure you keep an eye on the water level, adding more if necessary. (Modifications: I had 4 or 5 new potatoes I wanted to use, so I cut lentils back to 2/3c and used 2c of water/stock to start with, adding more when it looked low. On the suggestion of other reviewers, I added a tbsp of tomato paste with the spices and a few handfuls of spinach at the very end.)

I doubled the garlic, added an onion, and had to add another 2 cups of broth. I also used chicken broth instead of water. No leftovers either!

This is very nice, I used a little less Chorizo - 225g and next time I am going to add a coule of Red Chilli as I did not find it spicy at all. As others have suggested, adding other bits and bobs such as potato and carrots is a good idea as it is so rich. We ate with buttered granary bread. Thanks for the recipe.

This was delicious. I also added carrots (for color) and ans also kale at the very end as others have suggested. My husband and I both loved it and ate it for days. I have made it twice and it was great both times.

Delicious, and couldn't be easier! I used linked chorizo (peeled the casing and sliced in 1/4 inch rounds), sauteed in olive oil with sliced onion, garlic, and the spices until slightly browned, then added the lentils and water. I served this to some friends yesterday, and everyone loved it.

Not sure. I liked this quite a bit but then I really like chorizo and I like lentils. But I'm not sure if the combination was anything special since the chorizo flavour is quite strong. I will try this a second time to see and try some other chorizo recipes to compare. Am updating this review as I made this again - I know I was ravenous but it is soooo tasty. I don't think I would make this for friends for a full dinner but its very good as a supper - a small amount is very filling - or just a smaller evening meal - with crusty bread which takes a little edge of the spicyness - yes, its a keeper!

This was wonderful. I did use caution since I have a 3 year old. Didn't want to go overboard with the spice. Omitted the extra spices because the Chorizo itself has plenty of it.. My husband really enjoyed this.. Thanks

Apart from omitting the celery (I was making it for Husband, and he doesn't like cooked celery), I made this as written, and really wasn't impressed with the flavor. I ended up adding in some sauteed onions and jalapenos, a handful of chopped fresh cilantro, and a few Tbsps of tomato paste mixed with chicken broth. It was ok - a little too salty - but nothing to really go crazy about. This was pretty healthy but not something I'd make again. Thanks ahyway!

This is now one of my favourite stew recipes - I always add in some frozen chopped spinach, and often chop up and toss in whatever veg I have on hand that I need to use up - bet you could use kale as well, will try that next time. Works great in the slow cooker!

Not my favorite. It was a little too hot, without being all that flavorful, for me. ***** I have to change my rating from three starts to one.

A solid four star recipe. It doesn't look appetizing, but tastes pretty good. Husband actually gave it two thumbs up. oh yeah! I made this exactly as stated, just sprinkled some cheese on top at the end.

Great dish. When I read some reviews that this dish was too spicy, I was like "Are you kidding me?" But the very next day, the spices started to kick into the dish. The only subs I made were red lentils instead of green lentils. Also, after 17 minutes of simmering, my lentils were done. But that's probably due to the differences between the red and green lentils. I actually had to save the dish with a few more cups of water. One thing, is this an Indian dish or a Latin American dish? Update: This dish is spicier the next day. Bravo

Really good! I added potatoes and carrots which were a delicious addition. I also sauteed mushroom with the garlic. Love the flavors!! Instead of salt I used one beef bullion cube with the 3 cups of water and it was perfect.

I used more liquid than called for (used chicken broth rather than water); also I added some chopped carrots and spinach. I used Portuguese chourico sausage sliced, not bulk. Very good- will make again

Tried it with 400 grams of chorizo salami and a little smoked bacon. I like the flavor, but it is a little salty - I guess bulk chorizo is less salty tasting than the sausage / slicing kind?
