So good! My kids ate it too. I used green lentils instead of red.

Very GOOD and easy to make. I tried this soup at a local coffee shop with some hesitation because I had no idea what it would actually taste like. It has a marvelous blend of flavors. I asked the owner for the recipe and she told me it came from here. I've made it a couple of times now and find I do like the texture better when I puree it rather then using my immersion blender.

I love this soup!! So simple but delicious and unexpected. I didn't puree the soup as we like it chunky but otherwise I followed it exactly. Healthy too!

I thought this was a decent soup. It felt like I was missing something, but I did enjoy it. Thank you for sharing.

My whole family loved this soup. My 5-year-old who initially said, "I hate lentils!" asked if he could have some for lunch the next day. The flavor is wonderful, a welcome change from my usual curry or cumin seasoning. It's a keeper!

Not the best thing to do with lentils. It was ok, I ate it, but I was the only one in the house who would. To me it seemed to be lacking in dimension with the spices, but I can't put my finger on what would perk it up...nutmeg, allspice, saffron? My daughter & husband didn't like the orange flavor, said it was just weird. I followed the recipe as written, except I only had vegetable stock on hand. (which I've never had a problem subbing for in other recipes.) I also tossed in a clove of fresh garlic with the onions. I don't think I'll bother trying it again with chicken stock.

This soup was great! It is hearty and flavorful without being too spicy or thick. I don't like most Lentil dishes, but I'm keeping this one.

This soup had wonderful flavor -- I did triple the recipe more or less for a family of four and had just a little leftover (not that I'm complaining) I do think that blending the soup adds to it making a nice creamy texture and adding the extra broth at the end helps it not become too thick.

Excellent quick soup! Didn't have any carrot so doubled the celery and threw in all the leaves and everything! Pureed it all up and it was so nice. Used fresh squeezed orange juice and threw in the pulp as well. No one guessed it had orange juice in it! Very creamy and filling!
