Was very good for the first night. After refrigerating over night it turned into mush. I would suggest to add more vegetable broth instead of water.

I cut the lentils and rice down to 1 cup each based on previous reviews. However, it was still too thick for a soup. I was disappointed in the taste of this recipe, too.

Used 12 cups of vegetable broth instead of 8 water/1 broth. I cooked it for 4 hours. Turned out thicker, like a stew, I love the combo of the lentils and the chewy rice. Very easy, and very good!

There must be a mistake in the ingredients. This was very dry and totally filled up the crock pot when it was finished - way MORE than 11 servings. If I make this again, I will cut the dry lentils and the brown rice down to 1 cup each. It is a good recipe for someone on a vegetarian diet and it was very easy to make. I may try it again...

Really quick to make, Really easy. You can't beat Easy Vegan that even my Meat-Eaten Family REALLY liked. Did add about 4 or 5 more cups of water and it only needed to be cooked on low for 4-5 hours. Stuck to the recipie except used short grain brown rice. Would have trippled the veggies, though. Next time I will add different veggies such as Bell Pepper, Califlower, leeks, and anything else I can find. Will Totally do this again.

This was not soup..it was a more a clump of rice and lentils. Due to the lack of liquid the lentils didn't cook completely. I also think it was pretty tasteless.

I had printed out this recipe nearly 10 years ago - and since then, many reviews have come up saying that it's not soup at all, but more of a ... hash. It was a giant lump, is what it was. It tasted good, but fortunately I was home to add extra vegetable broth and water so it wasn't totally like a glued lump. I ended up scooping it into hollowed out green peppers and baking them in the oven like vegetarian stuffed peppers. That was tasty, but I certainly would cut the lentils and rice in the recipe in half and add more liquid if I were to do that in the future.

This is not a "soup" but I wasn't looking for one and knew by the water ratio it wasn't going to be. I loved the flavor and will definately make this often. I used extra vegetables, and skipped the mushrooms as none were on hand.

As is, this recipe is worth about a star and a half. When I got home from work I had to really do some "tweaking" to get this to be edible. I took the advice of another reviewer and added cumin, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and I increased the amount of salt, pepper and garlic powder. I also found (like every other reviewer)that WAAYYY more liquid is needed. I had used only half the amounts of lentils (which I soaked overnight) and half the rice, but the full amount of water and broth. When I got home I added an additional 3 cups chicken broth to the crock pot. With all my additions it does have a nice flavor. I might make it again, but only using my changes.
