WOW! I made this soup and the smell of it alone was tantalizing everyone in the house. I doubled the recipe (mistakenly forgot the garlic) for 4 and it made enough for 6. My husband and his friends all enjoyed a medium size bowl of it and there was some to spare. It was quite spicy and everyone LOVED it. I highly recommend you make this soup!

Easy to make. Taste great. I used turkey stock and some leftover turkey

This could've been really amazing, but I agree with the post about it being really bland. I followed the recipe as listed, but should've used recommendations from other users. Will definitely try again but next time will use broth rather than water, some onion...not sure what else. Oh, I did add celery though. Has potential!

I did sauté an onion before making this on top of the stove and threw in a tablespoon of chicken broth powder. I wanted a large pot full so i used a pound of lentils, 2 pounds of frozen spinach and the same amount of veggies. I did triple the spices due to the larger amount of liquid. I'm glad I didn't triple the amount of vegetables because the pot was totally full. It was ready in less than an hour. I was apprehensive about using all the spices but after reading the reviews, I went ahead and did so. Glad I did, because the taste is wonderful! Reminds me of a Moroccan stew! Will def be making this again!

I made this for us while we were on a cleanse, and both my husband and I really liked it. It is a hearty soup that sticks with you. Unfortunately, I forgot to put in the spinach, so we'll have to put it back on the winter menu and remember that step this time!

This was ok, not knock your socks off. I added more garlic and an onion. I also used a can of vegetable broth and threw in a ham shank to flavor the broth. It was healthy and easy. I'll probably make it again.

I added broccoli instead of spinach and added more spices than in the original recipe. My crockpot cooked this in about 4 hours on high instead of 8.

Thanks Cindy! My newly vegetarian boyfriend raved that it was so much like beef stew. I added onion and doubled the spices. It will be a staple at our house. It's fantastic!

Doubled all the herbs and spices except for the garlic and still found this quite bland. Added some salt, lemon juice, and a can of diced tomatoes and that helped. A good start that turns out well with a few modifications.
