Yum! My husband thought it was just "pretty good", but I thought it was delicious! I added more curry powder and some red pepper, bc we like spicier food. Also, did not preboil the lentils, just added more liquid to the soup.

I soaked a pound of lentils in water overnight, and placed the soup in the slow cooker the next morning. I used fire roasted diced tomatoes, tons of garlic, and cut the cabbage in large shreds so it would hold up to the slow cooker. I cooked the soup on low for 10 hours, but the carrots were slightly undercooked (it ended up being a very large batch of soup). I cooked it another 3 hours on high, and the soup was perfect. Really, really comforting/tasty...

Made this for dinner last night replacing chicken broth with vegetable broth and sauted the onion, celery, and carrots in olive oil before adding to the pot. My husband said it's his new favorite soup! Thanks for the tasty recipe. It's a great soup for the cool weather we're having now.

We loved this soup!! Even my husband, who didn't think he'd like it because it looked so "tomato-y." I had some fresh tomatoes on hand that needed to be used up so I used those and a small can of dices tomatoes.

When I made this soup, I doubled the lentils and the chicken broth. I also added more curry powder than it called for. It was quite good, but it could have used some more flavour. It tastes much better the next day (like most soups I think). All in all, this soup is very cheap to make so I will likely make again and play around with the spices a little.

Fantastic! It's only August here, but it's already feeling like November and this really warmed us up. I skipped the onions, added a bit more cabbage, and upped the chicken broth to about 4 cups. I stuck everything in the slow cooker and cooked it on low for about 8 hours. Great flavor and everything was cooked to perfection. I will make this again. Thank you! :)

This was so good. I added a diced potato and an extra half cup of lentils. I simmered it for 1 hour and it was done, just right. I just had a huge bowl and wished I was still hungry so I could eat more. Thanks for this easy, yummy recipe.

This was a very tasty soup...it usually has to be exceptional for me to give a 5...it's not exceptional but I'm giving it a 5 because it is very tasty AND healthy which is sometimes difficult to find. I boiled and shredded 2 chicken breasts for some added protein and have been enjoying the left overs all week! :)

Really tasty. I used one cup of lentils and added more broth and the curry adds a nice warmth without being too spicey.

I was suprised at how good this soup was. I did not add the sugar, but did cook with a package of skinless, boneless chicken thighs, which shredded easily into the soup when it was done. Very hearty!

Pretty good, but I would leave out the thyme, increase the curry and add more spices, maybe coriander and tumeric. I added chopped jalepeno's for a little more spice. I would also like to try adding a yam, cubed, and maybe even a white potato too.

Made this tonight for the first time and my dh & I both loved it. I added about cup & a half of chopped turkey that we had leftover from Christmas, but other than that I followed it exactly (which isn't like me). I'll definitely be making this again this winter!

Was actually looking for something along the lines of a cabbage soup/chicken soup but tried this recipe. I am not a fan of "traditional" vegetable soups w/ an emphasis on tomato based ingredients. I should have omitted the tomatoes in this recipe but the lentils(s)/lentil flavored helped a tremendously. After reading the other reviews, I: used more lentils 2.5 - 3 cups [whole pkg], did not pre cook them [just rinsed well], did not use any water -- 4 cups of f/free chicken broth and threw in a dash more or so of the dry ingredients -- everything on the slow cooker for about 6 hours. The lentils were perfect. Soup actually tasted better the day after, as leftovers. Husband really liked it. I will make it again but omit the tomatoes.

I made this in my slow cooker. Had to add a lot more spice or else it would have been pretty tasteless! Just alright the first day, but much tastier on the 2nd.
