Made this as written, except that I doubled everything. It was perfect. The whole family enjoyed it. Served it with some hearty sourdough bread. Mmm. We'll definitely be repeating this!

Don't know what happened....it all sounded good. Cooked for almost 15 hours and lentils were still hard. Soup was watery and didn't taste well at all.

Absolutely delicious. Used smoked ham shank instead of regular ham. Cooked it on low for only 6 hours. I made no other changes. It will certainly be filed under favorite soups.

So delicious! Like several previous reviewers, I added stewed toms and an extra cup of water. I'm adding this to my favorite recipes.

This was so good! I didn't change a thing and it was great with some hearty wheat bread on a windy fall day.

How easy was this!! Next time I will chop the veggies the night before to save some time as I'm always tight for it in the morning but the flavor was excellent and it the lentils were a perfect consistency. Very nice fall and winter dish, so nice to come home from work and enjoy this hearty meal instantly.

This soup is fantastic! I didn't have 11 hours to cook it so I cooked it on high setting for 6 hours. It turned out great and reminded us of the lentil soup served at our favorite German restaurant.

Very Good. Make sure that you wake up early since it takes all day to cook. I was a little late for work the day that I prepared it. I added the stewed tomatoes and extra water/chicken boullion also and I am glad that I did. I served it with jalepeno cheese bread and it was delicious. I cant wait to make it again.

This is my favorite! I do a little bit of variation though. I up the veggies and ham about 1/2 cup each. I use 3 small cans of chicken stock fatfree/low sodium, and add one can of diced tomatoes, and leave out the tomatoe sauce. It is wonderful, I also cook it on high in my crockpot for about 3 hours depending on the lentils... a little longer if neccessary.

I made this for my family and it was fantastic. I have never cooked with lentils but now this recipe will be a popular dish around my house. I recommend using cooked ham off the bone - it enhances the flavor of the soup.

Delicious, but don't try to do this one in a hurry. It really is better if you slow cook it for the 11 hours. :)

This soup was amazing! My 13 year old son even asked for more. Was I shocked! Usually he picks things out of his soups and barely finishes them. Great, will be making again!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the good reviews! I'm glad that most of you are enjoying one of my favorite soups! Of course it is the nature of the beast to continue to tweak recipes and I thought I would share a slightly different stovetop version of this recipe. I didn't have any ham but threw in 2 smoked pork hocks (skin removed) and 2 cups of cooked, diced chicken meat from my freezer. I covered the pot and simmered this on the stovetop for about 1 1/2-2 hrs until everything was tender. Removed the pork hocks and picked what little meat there is and tossed that into the soup. You may need to add a little extra broth or water when you cook it stovetop. This makes it a little quicker if you don't have half a day to get dinner on the table.

Neither hubby nor I liked this very much. I followed some suggestions and used a can of stewed tomatoes instead of the tomato sauce. It wasn't too thick, it just didn't have a very distinct flavor. I couldn't taste the ham at all. Not sure if I did something wrong, but I won't be making it again to find out.

Fantastic! I haven't had lentil soup since I was a kid and forced to eat it! This is one of the few recipes I've tried on allrecipes where I didn't have to make many variations to. I did, however, use a can of stewed tomatoes because I didn't readily have sauce, which gave me more of a broth in the soup. Exceptionally flavorful! Great recipe!

Great flavor! I threw in my ham bone as well. I slept in, so I cooked a half batch on high for 5 hours and everything was perfect!

This was GREAT. My husband raved about and that is rare. I used a ham bone that still had lots of meat on it and put that in the crock pot at about 9 a.m.on high. Then at noon I added everything listed in the recipe plus a can of stewed tomatoes and sloshed in some white wine. I let that cook on low for six hours and it really turned out wonderfully. Thanks.

This is a recipe worth keeping, but the cooking time seemed long to me. Lentils using take 20 to 30 minutes to cook in boiling water, so 11 hours seemed way off. And, so it is. After 11 hours the top of my stew was very dark and moisture in the slow cooker was almost nil. I added 2 cups of chicken broth to bring the stew back. It was eatable, but next time I am limiting cooking time to 3 to 4 hours on low. Fully cooked ham, veggies and lentils don't need half a day to cook. I would have rated the recipe 5 stars if not for the cooking time shown.
