Tasty. It was good combination of flavors. My husband made the comment, that at first it tastes bland, but then you keep eating it because the flavors come out. Based upon the other comments, I'm curious if you added the tomatoes later if it would effect the cooking time of the lentils. I know that in other recipes it has been recommended that they are added later because for some reason they adversely affect the cooking time. Just a thought if someone wants to experiment in the future. This was a good recipe, but I wouldn't say that I would make it again. Worth the effort however.

Really great! I used diced tomatoes instead of the whole canned tomatoes... this came out really thick, like a stew. It was hearty, comforting, and tasty. The lentils and tomatoes were really mild, but the addition of cloves and nutmeg added a complex flavor. Best of all, this inexpensive recipe will give me leftovers for weeks to come!

I liked it pretty well but my husband didn't. It was quick, inexpensive, easy, and healthy, but possibly not fantastic enough to make again. (Then again, I rarely make the same thing twice.)

I made this soup tonight-maybe after it mellows overnight I'll "up" the rating. I used a 28oz can of pureed tomatroes, so skipped the blender step. Maybe there would have been more liquid if I used the tomatoes. As it was, it was 'way too thick. I added at least 2 cups of water and probably another 1/2 to 3/4 cup wine. I only had whole cloves, so put some in an empty tea bag and let that cook before fishing it out. Also added more nutmeg and garlic and a few shakes of allspice for good measure. The taste is fine, it is just the fact that it had to be thinned out so much that caused the lower rating.

Delicious!!! I felt it needed a little more flavor, so I added freshly ground pepper and salt. YUMM

I don't care much for red wine so after doing a little research I chose a Pinot Noir. It's delicious!

I used yellow lentils instead of brown - could that be why they didn't cook properly in the time alloted? I also wasn't sure if I was supposed to cook this covered or uncovered, so I did some of both. The flavor was good, but the partly-cooked lentils detracted!

Quick, easy and different. I didn't have ground nutmeg so I substituted with cardamom and a pinch of cinnamon. For the wine I used a syrah. Very good, thanks!

My search for a low-cal lentil recipe led me to this one. I must say, I was a little disappointed at first...nutmeg, cloves, red wine..? But, after it sat a while, I was scarfing it down. Very mediterranean, not just 'a flair'. Will make it again.

I encourage everyone to try this wondeful lentil recipe. It was satisfying and delicious. Lentils are underappreciated!

Wow, I was really surprised by this soup. The flavor is mellow and satisfying. I used canned petite diced tomatoes and skipped the food processor step and used only 1 cup of lentils, since I'm not a fan but have been trying to use legumes more. Don't be afraid to try it!!
