My picky 6 year old loved this soup. It was very easy too. I cut the amount of flour by more than half and used just a teaspoon of salt. Inexpensive and easy ... my kind of recipe.

Very good soup! I added some extra veggies and skipped the salt since the bacon is already salty, and it was just fine. Very easy to make and a great comfort food.

Tis recipe was basically very good. I made a few modifications and it came out really good. After thinking about the water to lentil ratio I increased the amount of lentils to 1 1/2 cups. I also added a can of diced tomatoes, juice and all. Also the ratio of salt/bouillon to water and veggies was in my opinion to little. I passed on the salt alltogether and used chicken bouillon in powdered form. I put in about 1/4tsp for every 1 cup of water. I was out of both thyme and white pepper. So I passed on the thyme and used black pepper instead. Also I added six cloves of garlic, two handfulls of fresh spinach, and a few fresh green beans for pizazz. Another thing I did was add another cup of carrots. My 4 and 5 year old loved it. They usually don't like anything. I think that next time I make this soup I will add more potatos. It was really good.

I enjoyed this recipe and it turned out to be a hearty delicious soup. Don't cover while simmering.

I was disappointed in the consistency of this soup. It is touted as "hearty," but turns out very thin. Also, thankfully, I didn't add all of the thyme and I'm glad I didn't. 3/4 of a teaspoon was almost too much. Also, it required 3 teaspoons of salt instead of one.

I chose this recipe because I had all the ingredients on hand. This is the first time I've ever made soup, and it turned out delicious! Very hearty and tasty!
