'Although I shouldn't say better; I should say different. -And what makes it different? It's better...' -Thanks for the late night laugh!

[@i1li1l]

Every time Chef John says "Enjoy", it makes me smile :)

[@roq99]

God I swear you have the best recipes of anyone.

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

I made this recipe today, with a few modifications of my own. I left out the cayenne pepper and added some smoked pork that I smoked on my Weber Smoky Mountain smoker a few days ago. Fantastic!! Many thanks!

[@Naeema311]

Made this tonight - super yummy! Can't go wrong Food Wishes recipes!

[@ycr424]

a few of my ingredients were slightly different, but this was the most amazing lentil soup (mine was more a stew) i have ever made. and mine got blinged up nicely with creme fraiche.....omg soooo good! my first recipe with black lentils & definitely not my last.

[@marshanotbrady3193]

Funny, I was just thinking of cooking lentils this week. Maybe curried lentils, but this would be perfect especially with this weather. Thanks chef!

[@Masterpopster]

let me just say first off i am glad you decided to roll with the "alweez" thing, your awesome chef john, and so smart, i sense your level of happiness and i think that is where your intelligence is gaining its flavor.

[@KiddKutty]

I was looking for a lentil recipe! I usually cook with green lentils, but now I want to try the black lentils!!! Thank you chef John!

[@loonymiko]

I love your commentaries!! Makes cooking while following your recipes so much more fun XD

[@coralinealgae]

I bought some black lentils and wasn't sure what to do with them. I found this video and cooked this up last night. It was delicious! Thanks for posting your recipe.

[@TessCooks4u]

I will have to get some black lentils. I have regular, yellow and red in my cupboard but no black. Looks delicious. Tess

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Always remember: Black Lentils Matter.

[@BaaaHbooM]

Almost a typical german dish! We use fried flour to thicken it, vinegar for the taste and eat it with small noodles (called Spätzle) and sausages! Huge fan of your cooking!

[@PlatypusGuitar]

This recipe confirms me that I was thinking like a chef when I came up with my own lentil soup recipe last fall. Which I should thank you again for sharing cause it got a ton of views!

[@MrAtaguas]

Finally man I was waiting for this!!....num num dinner tomorrow thanks a ton!!

[@catherinepatin9961]

Soup bling...love it! Keep all those delicious and entertaining recipes coming Chef John :D

[@gelseminun]

We make a very similar soup like this at home, but instead of carrot and celery we use poblano chili, tomato and garlic, and sometimes dieced ham too! At the end, when it's already cooked, add a handfull of fresh cilantro (we are from México, we loooove cilantro of course!), one of our favorite dishes :9

[@maremacd]

Do you make it with black lentils in Mexico? Or black beans? Do they taste the same?

[@spanishcooking9493]

mmm yummy! I agree, bacon works great with legumes. Although the spanish taste likes to add chorizo instead, I like the bacon idea so much

[@qw_wq3597]

In my area it is hard to find black lentils, so I`ve done exactly this recipe with red ones - turned out amazing every time, thanks a lot, Chef!

[@hopegriffith90]

AH chef john, I don't say it enough, in fact I am not sure I have ever said it. I always enjoy your videos and recipes. please don't ever quit :). Best wishes from myself and my family.

[@lillianjacobs6009]

I’m pregnant and emotionally overwhelmed with this recipe. God bless you, Chef John!

[@bachdon]

chef john...I absolutely love your humor...and these are awesome recipes!

[@unstoppablezone4980]

Made this today, delicious. the black lentils are slightly crunchy, nice texture. Thanks,

[@89pcntbald]

Who doesn't like "relatively healthy soup"? It's always the subtle things you say that get me :)

We love you Chef John!

[@rdidri]

I just like him.

[@guguigugu]

rdidri i kinda just wanna be friends

[@rhondaanthony12]

Your so fun to listen to!!!

[@ozonezoe]

Yet another beautiful dish

[@amsd1231]

I think I am conditioned to feel hungry whenever I hear your voice Chef John.

[@martinraboy5971]

Hi Chef John, I'm making this soup the second time now. It's a winner. Appreciate very much your excellent instruction.

[@lianajasmin2533]

Yay I love you KZbin I get hungry watching your videos

[@arthurcoronel9817]

My mother makes this with green lentils and it's very delicious one of my favorite soups indeed.

[@YT4Me57]

Looks absolutely delicious, and I love your narration Chef John...Perfection!

[@jermaineoneal123]

God bless you Chef John

[@CashMiester]

I've never said to myself "I want to try some lentil soup" until now.

[@Johnlaps]

very good thank you for being here and teaching us how to cook ur foods. I used green instead of black. Black was too hard to get I live middle of no where

[@stephanieparrish9059]

Chef John, you're so funny! Love your videos!

[@imhoching]

I made this today and love it!

[@vkiperman]

I made it tonight. Came out very good. The whole family enjoyed it. I didn't have bacon; used Big Fork Hickory & Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon Sausage instead. Yup.

[@ktarnik]

Exactly like I'm making it. Love this dish.

[@suicune2001]

That looks delicious! I never thought to put sour cream and avocado on my lentil soup but I will have to try that. :)

[@RuToob]

I had a "special problem" and the doctor basically said it's cause I'm getting old. Apparently, frequent salad and veggies are not enough anymore and I need to eat even more fiber or start drinking old people fiber powder concoctions. No thanks. So the first person I came to for help on this is Chef John and as predicted, he did not disappoint. Delicious recipe. And no old people powder needed. 😃

[@RussellNatasha]

You crack me up chef John, love ya!! :) x

[@slobomotion]

Really fun ... uprated and shared.

[@krudtklovnen]

Dat humor! LUV IT! :D And it looks delicious.. as always!

[@AniasKitchen]

very interesting :) any soup with bacon will work for my Polish taste buds :) I have few recipes of my own but will give this one a try! Thank you for sharing!

[@MikeTheBarber63]

I thought of your Split Pea Soup vid you posted a few months ago when I saw bacon. Nothing goes with legumes like bacon! Except maybe your chunky croutons and I want Chef John's bonus garnish. I am going to need a bigger bowl!

[@AniasKitchen]

lol :)

[@misslauradawn]

March 31st and below freezing where I live. This looks ideal.

[@frankfreeman8721]

Chef John, in the immortal words of my favourite twig...."I am groot!"

[@rlburns585]

I'd normally never look at a lentil soup recipe but, hey, it's foodwishes

[@asiagrabowska5092]

👍💕😷

[@crazyzee81]

I like the black lentils best too. I noticed what you say about the black standing up better to longer cooking then the green. From my few times cooking lentils red were the softest and golden were the firmest after cooking .

[@c_farther5208]

Fantastic, John.

[@judyantonini]

I love lentil soup!!! Thanks

[@MephistoRolling]

i laughed so much during this one. looks good too!

[@Waremonger]

That looks delicious and I can't wait to try it. CJ, any chance we can get a follow up video showing us how to make Sausage Lentil Soup?

[@LastLifeLost]

Thoughts on subbing Italian sausage for the bacon? Seems like it would be a great move.

[@foodwishes]

I support you and your idea.

[@johnsheehan977]

Yep,yah,you betcha'!!!!👍🤤😋

[@johnsheehan977]

Pancetta would be nice too but I like the smokiness of the bacon.

[@nancyx591]

I always cook lentils, soup or not, with Italian sausage! A little grated cheese on top doesn’t hurt either! 😋😋😋

[@ADayOOO]

Lentil soup always seems really hit or miss. I also have to be in the mood for it to really enjoy it.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Lovely jubbly

[@acrobaticcripple8176]

Lubbly jubbly. Sorry!

[@tigerzoo325]

I made this soup without bacon and I couldnt find black lentils so I used green it came out delicious thanks chef john!

[@Boobalopbop]

Perfect.... I was just about to ask if the lentils must be black ones because I just bought a bag of regular lentils, and as much as I love bacon, I wanted to keep this vegetarian, so thanks for your comment answering my questions :)

[@tigerzoo325]

+Boobalopbop :)

[@raymondlegans6762]

TigerZoo...racist :/

[@profchaos9001]

I just made this but with green lentils, cubed pancetta instead of bacon and a can of peeled tomatoes instead of the chicken broth, so basically i made something completely different, but i followed the same steps and same spices. I am writing this comment just to point out how great the soup was when i added the cubed avocado, especially because i think i added too much heat and the avocado creaminess canceled out that excess.

[@stevescooking]

Looks delicious john..:)

[@ishmiel21]

Looks good, I'll check it for sure

[@skynyrd2262]

Awesome recipe.....just surprised that no garlic was added. Maybe there's a reason I am unaware of. In any case, as always, enjoy!!!

[@nicolesamsonite]

you have great recipes! looks so yummy

[@bing083]

Just made this soup today... freaking incredible!! And I never liked lentils lol

[@CraZy291]

Special tip: Add some vinegar, too. That's how it's done in Westphalia (Germany) :)

[@dc8povi]

I was waiting for this recipe:)

[@MarthaRod-zs2zl]

You make the best recipes so easy to follow for my untrained hungry little hands!! And I love soups! Thanks for this ^___^ #soupbling

[@YT4Me57]

I have a pot of this on the stove now. Smells absolutely delicious and it has at least another 30 minutes to go :- ( Can't wait!

[@vPaule]

Adding some herb vinegar after serving adds another layer of awesomeness. :-)

[@JaysCoconut]

Need to try this

[@GiuseppePipia]

I always make lentils with pancetta bits! Just. So. Delicious!!!!

[@SLBeeotch07]

Great Videos Chef John! Faithful Subsciber!

[@EmblaWanderer]

I was surprised you made this, I thought it was just typical in my country xd

[@closetwarrior]

God I haven't had lentils in forever, I guess I have to try this one out.

[@pockit5107]

What do they taste like? I've heard about them but I've never actually tried them.

[@closetwarrior]

They honestly don't have that much taste on their own, they kinda taste a bit like some sort of bean, if I remember them right.

[@simonelewis8276]

Fred Harvey They taste like another version of peas. They don't have a very strong flavor. They taste... healthy.

[@Boobalopbop]

How did the soup turn out?

[@isabellemaria976]

love how you always say "freSH (ly)" :)

[@Angelamar819]

Thank you been looking for a recipe

[@emajej_]

I love your videos

[@kberken]

Oh boy, bacon. I'm recovering from breast cancer surgery. This meal looks so good. Count me in.

[@monkeypunch100]

Looks good!

[@FrancesWeyr]

I only had green lentils and it didn’t seem worth it to go out for black lentils in an ice storm. It still came out pretty good

[@simonelewis8276]

I added more bacon & used green lentils instead of black. It was pretty good. Sorry to disappoint you. Thanks for sharing though! Lol

[@9484Anthony]

I may be a lil late. But lentils with asparagus is delicious.

[@russburton8517]

I love soup season.

[@magombre]

Hey, this looks great but it seems like you cooked less than half the pot. How would you increase the proportions so that you could cook nearly a full pot? (Just adding more stock/broth would probably make it too watery)

[@LoveMartica]

Hi John!...Chorizo also a good sub for bacon?...

[@dasalekhya]

Chef John - next year, you should host the *OSCARS*

[@MrSkywardsword123]

The only reason i watch these videos is for his voice

[@PockASqueeno]

I know, right?!!

[@PoisonC4ndy]

Me too!

[@BaconBabe87]

And here i thought i was the only one xD

[@lianajasmin2533]

Haha me to

[@basiemae84]

Me too!

[@surfacingcom]

Mmmm, I was thinking a little bit of swiss on top of the soup, under a layer of puff pastry and a few minutes in the oven to finish.

[@spoonballs]

Go away

[@simonelewis8276]

Thank you for that mental picture. That actually sounds really good!

[@crazyzee81]

This soup looks delicious. Is there a difference between stock and broth?(I feel dumb asking) When it comes to vegetable stock I just cant get behind it. I love all veggies but veggie stock seems to highlight the bad, bitter, and bland flavors of certain Veggies.

[@Kole777]

Chef John, do a fish tacos video!

[@DimaculanganPunch]

Hello Chef John, What was the carrot, celery, onion combination in French? I want to learn that word. Thank you very much! I always watch your videos.

[@guguigugu]

mirepoix

[@karm42yn]

Chef John, would you use store bought broth often in your soups and stews? If so, what brand would you recommend?

[@awesomechick2470]

i havent ever had lentils soup >.< man i want some now

[@susansarver9552]

[@vanthanh4265]

[@giveittofathergod.9958]

[@rebeccam.3484]

How could anyone give a thumbs down to this video?

[@SilverWolfGD]

black lentils are harder to find than I thought. Any store recommendations?

[@jeffslater3708]

very nice

[@jezebel1276]

Tasty
