Made this last night. Very good. I didn't precook the lentils. I put everything in my presser cooker and cooked it for 7 min. Turned out perfect. Added some frozen peas when it was done. Was a hit.

This was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!! I followed the advice of another review by making the recipe with more lentils and liquids and it lasted us for several meals. We love to heat up soup for lunch with a grilled cheese sandwich or bread during the cold winter months. Here is the review that I followed: "to take out some of the starch I rinsed & drained the lentils. I followed the amount of ingredients suggested by the tool except for these items: 1 1/2 c green lentils & 1/2 c red lentils, 3 stalks celery, 1 large onion, 4 c chicken broth & 6 cup veg. broth, many more cloves garlic 1/2 crushed 1/2 chopped, finally 1 tsp hot curry powder."

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly as written (I used green lentils and boiled the soup for 1 hr). Yum-a-licious!!!

This recipe has potential, but for our tastes, we'll try a different, more filling recipe next time. I doubled the lentils, broth and spices and it still wasn't filling enough. Already the teenager is looking for something else to eat. Thanks for the different recipe, though.

A good hearty soup. Rather plain but certainly one I would make again.

Just made this for the first time today and enjoyed 2 big bowls for lunch. This soup is amazing! I have never even had lentils before but had just bought some to try. Tweaked the recipe to what i had on hand and prepared the lentils as directed beforehand. After 2 hours on high in crockpot the soup was still 'al dente' and no mushiness at all. Skipped the sugar - it doesn't need it with the carrots, added one zucchini squash sliced into crescents, replaced the whole tomatoes with 2 smaller cans of diced tomotoes. Had no celery but added celery salt (and skipped the extra salt) Did not add any cabbage. Added a little extra broth 1/3 cup maybe. The smell wafting in my house was fabulous - couldn't wait to dig in. Easy, low fat, low sugar and high fiber - perfect!
