This is now on my Favorite Lentil Soup Recipes list! Yum! I did substitute some ingredients: red for green bell pepper; 1 can Rotel chopped tomatoes with juice, for tomato paste; vegetable for chicken broth; and red for brown lentils. The portobellos give the soup weightiness, while the sherry gives it a lovely cold-weather sophistication. Oh my!

This is a fabulous soup! I was looking for a Lentil soup recipe without carrots and stumbled across this one. I was somewhat hesitant because I was concerned the mushrooms may be too overwhelming - I am SO glad I made it - it is very very good! The mushrooms are not overpowering at all. I used all the ingredients and only substituted yellow onion for red (since that's all I had in my pantry) - plus I omitted the parmesan cheese for a healthier option. GREAT and TASTY soup!!

Best lentil soup yet! (Didn't have sherry so I left that out)

This was very good! I added a little cumin and red pepper flakes because I like spice. Like some other reviewers suggested, I used less lentils than called for. Will make this again!

This was easy to prepare and very tasty. I added carrots just because I like them and used yellow lentils because that was what I had. I will make this a staple.

This was really good! I didn't have cooking sherry, so I didn't add it. I also didn't have a green pepper, so I put in some celery, which was good! I did take some fresh, washed spinach and shredded it into my bowl of hot soup. I got the idea from another lentil soup recipe and it tasted really good in here. Maybe too much basil, next time I won't add so much. I did keep adding water to the soup as it cooked, but that's my personal preference on how thick I like it. Will make again!

Great lentil soup recipe! Instead of tomato paste, I added a 14.5 oz. can of fire-roasted tomatoes. Forgot to add in the sherry and parm...if you use low-sodium chicken broth, you will need to add quite a bit of salt for flavoring.
