Okay...call it morbid curiosity, but I came across this recipe and just had to try it because of all the bad reviews. Is it really that bad?!?! Well, no. The ratio of water to lentil/rice is 2:1. After reading all of the reviews, clearly the amount of liquid is one issue, so I upped it to 3:1. It could have used more, but oh well. Also, reviewers complained about blandness. Well, this is a site where everyone tweaks things according to their own preferences (aside from those who substitute raspberries for jalapenos and salmon for beef and peas for potatoes, decide to cook it on a Coleman instead of the oven and then say it was terrible). So I added chopped sweet peppers, cumin, red pepper flakes and italian seasoning and used all chicken broth instead of water. Length of cooking time seems to also be an issue, so I only cooked it 4 hours on low which was enough. It turned out to be a fine lentil and rice dish. It is by no means soup, but it does taste good. Whether or not I will make it again, I do not know. It does make a good side dish or quick meal.

Others complained about it being to dry and more of a lump than a soup---they were right. I added extra water and vegetable broth to try and make it more of a soup and soaked my lentils before cooking. None of this helped I ended up with a large gloppy lumps. At least I didnt waste to much money on the ingredients.

I prefer to soak the lentils in water overnight and set the crockpot on high for aobut half of the cook time. (We like them very soft.) Also, try part wild rice in this recipe--it adds lots of flavor!! Very hearty and makes a huge batch!

I had the same problem as another poster - by the time the mix was finished cooking, there was very little "soup" left to it, just a rice and lentil loaf with vegetables here and there. So I added as much broth as I needed to get it up to a soup consistency after it was done cooking and it was perfectly fine. Not the best lentil soup I've ever had, but quick, easy, cheap and filling. Will make again.

Glop! No soup, just tastless glop. I'll never try it again. Also, I'll learn to read the reviews before I try any new recipes.

Something must be wrong with the ingredient measurements in this recipe. It calls for 7 hours of slow cooker time but by 3 hours it was a sodden dryed out mass of oatmeal like stuff. Maybe too little liquid for the amount of lentil/rice called for?

This was nasty. It was a glob of goo with uncooked rice in the middle when I got home. I doctored it up by splitting it up into 2 crock pots and filled them with V-8 juice and keilbesa sausage. After another 3 hours the rice was finally done and at about 9pm that night it was finally edible. Of course by then I had quarts of the stuff. Most ended up not being eaten :-(

Well...I also did not read the reviews before I made this "soup". I basically ended up with a gigantic pot full of some sort of pilaf even though I added 2 extra cups of water. Thankfully I was home to keep an eye on the crock pot otherwise I'm sure I would have ended up with lentil sludge as well. Make sure you Don't use instant wild rice for one thing. I agree that the amount of lentils and rice should be cut in half, and some spices need to be added. Definitely reduce the salt if you use less rice and lentils though.

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about this recipe. It should be taken off the site.

No stars! As has been stated before, this was very disappointing! I had to add more water and broth AND more seasonings! Very bland. Next time I will try it with 1 cup of rice and LOTS of seasonings!
