Wonderful flavor (with some of the changes suggested). I used 8 oz. of sliced keilbasa and 6 c. of chicken broth along with 2 c. of shredded cabbage. It was fantastic!!! I gave it 4 stars because of the changes made.

Made this last night and everyone liked it. I used mild Italian sausage from a local Italian market instead of the vegetarian sausage. I did not add salt as the veg. bouillon & the canned tomatoes are salty enough. When the soup was done, I stirred in the cabbage and let it cook for a few minutes; as a result, the cabbage retained some of its crispness and was a nice texture element. The cayenne really looses its zing in all that water, so don't worry about it being hot. Served with Jiffy brand cornbread muffins, and the sweetness of the cornbread is a great compliment to the savory flavors of the soup. This is a great basic recipe to customize.

I sautéed the onion on high, stirring until soft, and then let it soften on low until translucent. I then added a chopped green pepper, one chopped carrot, and an entire 1-lb bag of lentils with the garlic and a jar of sauerkraut instead of cabbage. Note that I ran the sauerkraut under cold water first to get rid of the extra saltiness. I then added 6 cups of water (since I used 2x the lentils) with the bouillon cubes, brought it all to a boil, then reduced it to a simmer for one hour. Oh, and I added one ham hock instead of the sausage and shredded the meat off of the bone once it was done.

I made this tonight. I didn't have any cabbage on hand so I used some celery instead. I also used sun-dried tomato instead of diced tomato. I omitted the cayenne as I'm cooking for my family with different tastes. My 6 year old said "This is actually good", after examining it, prodding it with her fork and finally taking a bite.

Fantastic!! I used 1 lb. of country style sausage, doubled the garlic and cabbage and cut the cayenne pepper in half. I also used two 14.5 oz. cans of vegatable broth and about 2 cups of water. (I wanted it to be more of a soup than a stew.) It was a huge hit with everyone ... I will definitely make again!

Pretty good soup! I used turkey smoked sausage and low sodium chicken broth. If I make it again, here is what I would do differently...twice as much cabbage, 2 cans of tomatoes, no cayenne (even 1/4 tsp was too spicy for the kids).

This is an excellent recipe. It lends itself to many variations (vegetarian/meat sausage and stock/boullion). You can make it as a thick stew or a thinner soup, spicy or not, and can experiment with other ingredients and proportions. I've used kielbasa, smoked sausage, and linguica (precooked). I've used turkey, chicken, and beef better-than-boullion. I use more vegetables than the recipe calls for, and less tomato (I don't buy 16 oz. cans), I use Pico de Gallo seasoning in it instead of cayenne, and I don't use salt and pepper, preferring to allow the individul to season their own serving. Basically, as long as you add enough liquid to cook the lentils, it's hard to go wrong. We really love this soup.

This is a fast and tasty soup. I didn't have cabbage - which I think would have been really good. Anyway, I added carrots and celery instead. I also used mild Italian sausage. I think it would have been great wity spicy sausage, but my kids would not have eaten it. It's a hearty soup with lots of flavor.

This is a great soup! I used chicken broth in place of the vegetable bouillon and chicken sausage instead of the vegetarian sausage. Also cut back on the thyme & cayenne for my taste. Rave reviews from my husband and even from my daughter who is not usually enthusiastic about lentils. Thanks for this recipe!

This was the best Lentil Soup recipe I have ever had. But I cheated. I used Chicken/Turkey sausage with Sun Dried tomatoes. Great flavor.

This is a fantastic soup that I have been making for a while. I have thrown in celery, chorizo and even used saurkraut instead of the cabbage once. It is an incredibly flexible recipe which will carry off whatever you have lying about in your fridge / pantry. I usually use turkey sausage and have to increase the water quite a bit, otherwise it would come out too thick and stewy. Love it!

I used Healthy Choice sausage, but left everything else the same. Very good! My husband ate 3 large bowls and I had 1 bowl - it was gone FAST! If you have small children I recommend using less Cayenne.

This was tasty! However, I did add a 1/4 tsp. of basil and a 1/4 tsp. of oregano in order to quiet the pungent taste of thyme. I too added shredded Parmesan on top of each bowl of soup once I served it.

I doubled the lentils and water, and I used a cup of cabbage. I used one sweet italian chicken sausage and one hot italian chicken sausage that I broiled ahead of time then cut into chunks. My wife and I loved this and there was enough to feed two of us twice. Plus I froze some for later.

I thought this was an excellent recipe with changes I made to fit my tastes. I tossed out the veggie sausage and used 2 links Hot Italian Sausage & 2 links Mild Italian Sausage. I also used Tony Chachares cajun seasoning which has cayenne included in it. I had to let it simmer for an hour before the lentils were done. I live in high altitude though. It was spicy, just how I like it. So if you are sensitive to hot food don't use hot sausage and cut back on cayenne. Great for the cold temps we've been having. mmmmm
