We had this soup for our souper Wednesday staff lunch and it was a big hit. We did't use the spinach or tomato, but it was still delicious!

Delicious soup. Very easy to make and delicious to eat. This recipe makes a big batch so be prepared with freezer bags if you have a small family.

The spinach adds some much needed colour. Try topping with shredded swiss. An excellent recipe for leftovers.

OH YEAH!!!!! This is good stuff! I just made this and just the smell to start with was worth making this soup. I adjusted the serving size for 9 and only added 10 cups of water instead of the suggested 12. I like my soups a bit thick and not so watery. I added about a teaspoon of powdered onion in addition to the fresh, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and some more basil and oregano. I like a lot of flavor and this worked! I also added three small red potato's, it lacked something and that was it. Great soup, absolute best lentil soup i've had yet!

I also added 3 peeled red potatoes and the additional seasoning recommended by another reviewer and added 2 fresh chopped tomatoes instead of the canned and 1/3 cup barley. It was a big hit! My husband and the kids really liked it. This is going into my permanent recipe box for sure!

THis is lentil soup as it should be! Don't know why we have to cook it for at least one hour. The spinach is a healthy addition and adds good colour. I am trying to think of how to give it a bit of pazazz. Maybe a shot of chilli sauce? Great dish

I really enjoyed this soup, it was very flavorful and it's vegetarain! I used one large red and one large yellow onion; I also added 3 red potatos cubed, 1/4 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp onion powder and skipped the spinach. I pureed it a little and it was awesome. Even my boyfriend had seconds and it's hard to get him to eat vegetables. Thanks Marie!
