Love this soup, it has become a family favourite! Add one or two more cups of lentils to make a thicker soup, but everything else is perfect.

I would have given this 5 stars, but went with 4 because it needed to be tweaked. Add extra carrots, lentils and potatoes, reduce flour to 1/2 c. and liquid to 3 Qts. and omit the olive oil and bouillion and you'll end up with a much heartier and healthier soup! Be sure to cook on low, low heat and stir often. I also used chicken broth for 2 qts. of the liquid and salted to taste after cooking because I wasn't sure how salty my bacon was. I'm not a big fan of thyme and 1/2 tsp was enough for me. I also used a teaspoon each of powdered onion and garlic, no fresh. Guess that was alot of tweaking....

I've made this soup many with little changes here & there, however the best thing to do is cook it, let it cool than put in the refer overnight. reheat the next day for dinner. Tastes much better.

i know this soup isn't low-fat, but i feel good about eating it! i added a bit of leftover ground beef (my husband is the carnivorous type), but other than that made as is, and we loved it. i recommend simmering for the full three hours- the lentils need it to make the soup nice and thick. besides it makes your house smell soooooo good.

I like my soups thick and hearty, so I only used twelve cups of water. I also didn't have celery and carrots on hand so I used frozen peas and carrots instead. I doubled the amount of lentils and tripled the potatoes as suggested in another rating. I also used 4 bouillon cubes and half a package of lean bacon. The soup came out wonderfully and will definately make it again!

Excellent. I was generous on the portions of potato, onion, celery, and carrot. Used canned beef broth over bouillon - just adjusted water accordingly. Served w/the Whole Wheat Beer Bread from this site - best lentil soup I have had. Thank you!

Tasty and filling! I made a batch of beer bread (a classic college student recipe, haha) to dip in it and it was great! I can't believe I got my roommates to eat something without meat.

LOVE THIS SOUP!!!!!! We recently visited a Reinlanders and had this soup. My husband liked it so much he had to find out how to make it. Everyone we served it to loved it too.

This is a great soup recipe. My entire family enjoyed it and it was easy to make. I was out of dried Thyme, so I used some dried Rosemary instead. It was delicious and I will definitely make this soup regularly.

My family loved this! I didn't have bacon so I used ham. If you don't stir it a lot it really sticks to the bottom of the pot. I will make this again!

Did not care for the flour - soup tended to stick and needed constant attention while simmering - I prefer to add cornstarch to thicken at the end of cooking time.

Wonderful recipe for my toddler. Just omitted the bacon and salt and used low-sodium broth, and it made a very healthy soup for him.

A very good soup. Probably should allow a little more time to soften the lentils as they are a very hard bean. Like others, I doubled the amount of lentils but basically this is a very good recipe. Will make it again.
