Loved this soup - the lemon juice made it really special. I wanted to add some potatoes next time I make it, so that it would be a little more filling, but my husband doesn't want it changed at all - he said it is perfect as is. Next time I will make it just like this again!

Great flavor, but I found it to be too thick after pureeing. Next time, I think I'll leave the lentils whole.

I loved it! It is a very good soup. I added lime juice instead of lemon. The lime and the cilantro added a welcomed freshness to this healthy and flavorfull soup.

This was a good soup. I didn't think it was amazing or anything but it was good. I used 2 cans vegetable broth instead of a carton of broth and it was soupy enough for us. I think next time I'd add a little bit more spice to it and maybe even some more lentils so that it is a little bit thicker (personal preference).

Fantastic soup, only change I made was using veggie broth rather than chicken broth (I'm a vegetarian). The flavors came together nicely and it was a filling lunch for a chilly sunday afternoon. Thanks for sharing!

Please tell me, can I do this with the green lentil? Did anyone here try it? Thank you!

Nutritious and delicious. Halved fresh lemon juice. Omitted chil powder. Recommend adding celery and using spice(s) other than cumin.

We LOVED this! I've been making lentil soup for years & this is, by far, the best recipe yet. I was skeptical about the cumin, but it gave the soup such a wonderful, though not overpowering, flavor. I doubled the recipe, omitted the chili powder & used fresh parsley instead of cilantro. I let everyone add their own lemon juice, to taste. Served with warm naan bread & a side salad. Delicious! I'm getting rid of my other lentil soup recipes & sticking w/ this one.
