This is a great base for lentil soup. However, the last 10 minutes I added a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and dry red wine. It was amazing.

This soup is so good! I've really never made anything like this but it was very filling and tasty. I added a bit of parsley and garlic but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I think I might use a bit more stock next time as it was really thick, but all in all I think this is a fantastic fast, easy, healthy meal.

This is a nice, easy, tasty recipe. I followed the recipe closely (including the lemon spritz at the end) and added grated romano cheese over the top before serving. My husband liked it and this is a keeper! Make sure you rinse the lentils first to avoid the possibility little stones in the soup!

YUMMY! This was so good, it's now one of my staples! I was a little scared that the cumin was gonna make it tast like chili but that was not the case at all. I added two cloves of garlic but added a little garlic salt once it was done. Definitely a keeper!

This is an excellent simple recipe for those cool autumnal evenings. Also good for busy parents or college students because it takes little time to prepare and the ingredients are cheap, and the dish is healthy. Next time I try it, though, I'll probably add another half an onion and another clove of garlic.

cheap easy and quick, this one is a winner when I'm all out of groceries at the end of the week. I like to jazz it up with a few extra vegetables.

Great soup! Easy and healthy as long as salt is kept to a minimum. I used 3 cloves garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoon cumin, and a shake of curry. Also sauteed onion and garlic for a few minutes in olive oil before adding to the soup. Yum!

So very simple and satisfying! Thank you for this recipe.My kids don't care for lentils, but were running to the kitchen when they smelt this cooking. I added ham to my soup for extra flavor and all my kids tried a bowl.

I've made this recipe three times, and I'm in love with it :). My friends and family all thought it tasted like something right out of a restaurant! I, however, did make quite a few alterations as suggested by other reviewers. I halved the recipe, because it makes a lot, and used vegetable broth rather than chicken broth. I used 3 cloves of garlic, chopped it up with some onions, and sauteed it in olive oil with a couple bay leaves until everything was tender and brown. I also found that after using low sodium broth, you will need to add some salt to compensate. Also, add some dried parsley to it. It really tastes great in the soup. I loved the recipe! Thanks so much!

fairly tasty, but I think I cooked the lentils too long, they are kinda mushy, I guess 45 mins was too long.

I made this recipe along with some hearty, crusty bread and a hard cheese on the side. I did as other suggested and added carrots. A very filling soup - so healthy, and conveniently vegetarian. If I wanted to make this non-vegetarian I would add some cubed salt cured ham, and I think that would be great in this.

This recipe formed the base of a really simple, delicious soup great for cold winter nights. I used several of the suggestions listed below - I added a full can of tomato paste, four cloves of garlic, which I sauteed with the onion and 2 bay leaves. I also added a pinch each of cardamom and garam masala which gives the soup a nice aroma. And lastly, I added some finely chopped bacon to give it some extra flavor. This one was definitely a keeper!

I used green lentils, and I wonder should I have used a different kind? The good news is it made tasty lentils, but not a soup. I used crushed tomatoes instead of tomato paste, and that probably made a difference. I added carrot, yellow pepper that I needed to get rid of, cayenne pepper, and curry. I agree that celery would make an excellent addition.

Good soup- perfect for a chilly evening. I did not have tomato paste so I used 1 can of diced tomatoes and it worked out great! I also added some crushed red pepper since I like things spicy. Thanks for a yummy recipe!

This was an excellent recipe. I would suggest a little longer cooking for softer lentils. For some reason, mine did not cook as well.

Good, but not amazing. Seemed to be missing something. A bit bland. Made a huge pot of soup, though! Here's a hint: if you're cooking it for vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth, or you'll look like a major doof. Oops.
