I made this soup on a cold night, and it was awsome! I didnt have spinach, so I left it out and the soup was still fab! I also had 4 chicken thighs on hand, so i salt and peppered them, and put them in the bottom of the pot (after sauteeing the veggies) adn then added the lentils and liquids on top, adn let it simmer for a few hours. The chicken fell right off the bone and the shredded chicken added a great flavor and texture!! Highly recommended!!

A good base. I omitted the oil (instead sweating the vegetables in a tablespoon of water), and the salt, for health reasons. I substituted half of the water with celery and carrot juice -- it really pumps up the flavor, if you have a juicer! I also substituted chopped curly kale for the spinach, and cooked it about 15 minutes in the soup. To the seasonings, I added about a half cup of fresh chopped parsley, and some dried marjoram. It came out very good, and won't last long! A note on the salt -- we never thought food would taste good without salt, but your taste buds do adjust, and food tastes as good, if not better, now that we don't use it!

Oh, this one is insanely good. I've tried it with more vinegar and less vinegar and I have to say, the original recipe works for me. Serve with some garlic crusty bread -- bon appetit!

I absolutely loved this soup. It was refreshing and healthy. I did make some of the modifications suggested by other reviewers. I used Balsamic vinegar, added a little lemon juice and doubled the spinach. I doubled the recipe before I checked to make sure I had enough lentils. I was short a cup of lentils so I added a can of cannelini beans at the same time I added the spinach and it came out awsome. I think this would even be good with kielbassi or sausage chopped up in it. Thanks for this recipe - I will make it again.

This is very good but definately needs a bit of "something" for extra taste!! I have been putting shredded cheese on top of mine to make it more enjoyable

I have had this recipe for 8 years now and have been a fan of it ever since.I had never reviewed it and since I made it tonight I wanted to add my stars worth. I always get floods of compliments and never a drop is spared. While I have done several of the variations indicated by other reviewers, I think what I really appreciate about this recipe is that it is easy, tastes delicious as listed, and the varied suggestions are really good and just add different dimensions depending on your audience. Excellent!!!

Awesome recipe. Followed it pretty much to the letter (other than using chicken broth instead of water) and got great compliments: "10 out of 10!!" "This is the best soup you ever made!"

This soup is delicious, although I did make a few changes. I used 4 cups beef broth and 4 cups water and used balsamic vinegar along with adding a piece of romano cheese to the soup while simmering.

This is the first soup I've ever made & luckily it was a success. It was very easy to make & it was delicious. My boyfriend loved it too! A couple of changes I made: 1 tsp cumin, 1 lb chicken breast, balsamic vinegar. I will definitely be making this again & again!

I followed some of the advise from other reviews there, doubling the spices, a 28 ounce can of crushed tomaotoes, vegtable broth in place of water. In place of vinegar, I used half lemon juice, half balsamic vinegar. I added a small amount of fresh parm before serving. It was fantastic. Everyone loved it.

This was great. I made some changes to suit us. I used chicken broth and beer for the liquid and omitted the vinegar and spinach because my husband isn't a fan of greens. I also threw in a can of green beans and cooked some italian sausage with onions on the side for those who wanted meat in the soup. It was quite tasty. Next time I might try to give it a middle eastern flavor by adding cumin, curry and garbanzo beans. I really enjoyed this recipe and it was nice and simple.

Lentils are so under-rated. They are fabulous in this soup. Even my picky 6 year old asked for some and ate it up. Added some cumin as another reviewer suggested. Cumin and lentils go great together.

Wow. This is the best lentil soup recipe I've ever tried! I had to make a couple of substitutions based on my kitchen's content (red onion, white balsamic vinegar of which I added 2 xtra T!) but that was it! This is a terrific starter recipe and I'm excited to see how creative I can be with this. Next time I might try adding some different root veggies. This is a winner without cheese added to it!
