I've been cooking this soup for about 3 years and pretty much live on it in the wintertime. I sometimes add veggie scraps that need to be used up in my fridge. It's the lemon juice that gives it that *WOW!* Thanks again, buddy.

[@CHUCULATINHA]

I cooked it for dinner with steam rice. They all liked it and my picky child LOVED it asked twice!! Thanks. Great recipe

[@keshiaonline6286]

Will do the very same now. Thanks for the rice idea

[@emh8861]

Love it with rice !

[@emh8861]

Lentils are really good with scrambled eggs in the morning too!

[@Fianicus]

Made this last night and it was delicious!!! SO simple and so, so cheap! SO glad I didn't have to watch a 20 minute video and everything was in one pot!! Thank you.

[@Veronica-je9qj]

Thanks, made it tonight (01/12/2024) & it's delicious!

[@TheCookingFoodie]

😋😋❤

[@Veronica-je9qj]

It's even better today! @@TheCookingFoodie

[@yvonnebannon7623]

I made this and added spinach, tiny cubes of frozen sweet potato, and little chopped kale. Soooo good!!! This way we get a lot of veggies in as we sometimes don’t get to eat vegetables as often as we should. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤

[@TheCookingFoodie]

😋😍

[@warrenjansen7096]

It is simmering on the stove as I speak! I took the liberty of adding some all natural organic andouille sausage that I got from my local butcher. It smells absolutely awesome! Can't wait to try it.

[@ShaqTheBoss]

Did you fry the sausage 1st and pour the delicious fat and oil all in the soup? Or did you put it directly in the soup uncooked?

[@warrenjansen7096]

@@ShaqTheBoss Hey Shaq, I cooked up the sausage in a separate frying pan first and then added all the goodness into the lentil soup. I let it simmer in there for a while and it was absolutely fantastic. Definitely would do it that way again.

[@mahhubbard]

I made this soup it’s awesome, froze half of it in small Tupperware containers came out perfect. Just zapped in microwave. Delicious.

[@pame5530]

This is OUTSTANDING Lentil soup! The aroma as it cooks is as good as the taste! Thank you for a new top of our list meal! Served with fresh french bread and real butter!

[@rainforme1850]

I’ve been craving lentil soup I’m gonna make this particular recipe because it looks delicious and the comments are very positive

[@lisaray9404]

Thank you for the video and recipe! I made this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic!! I normally don't eat lentils and was avoiding using my little 16 oz package. I increased the ingredient portions a bit and used the celery leaves instead of parsley. It was really, really good, and I highly recommend this dish to anyone wishing for a warm, flavorful soup. I will probably make this many more times. Thank you, again! 😊💖🙏

[@kineticfractal6804]

I've had this recipe saved in my watch list and yesterday, I made a batch. This is really good lentil soup. And, of course, it's even better on day two. If you've ever eaten Amy's brand lentil soup, this is very similar. I would amend the recipe in the following ways: decrease the amount of cumin by half and add the lemon juice a tablespoon at a time. You may find the additional amont isn't needed. Great recipe - thank you!

[@TheCookingFoodie]

I appreciate the feedback and glad you liked it. I’ll try your lemon juice and cumin adjustments.

[@kineticfractal6804]

@@TheCookingFoodie Oh, no - the soup is so nice, as it is. I'm just not very fond of cumin, so I would decrease the amount. And, usually I prefer more acidity, so I was suprised that I thought the lemon juice needed to be less. Next time, I'll try it with one tbsp. Thank you, once more for the recipe...

I was looking for a good lentil soup recipe, this one fit the bill completely. I did add 1/2 lb. Of ground turkey sausage to the recipe. It turned out great my family and I really enjoyed it. The only ingredient I didnt have on hand was the paprika but that was ok with me. I will make this soup many, many more times. Very good, thank you! ❤

This is awesome..as an indian..I prefer cooking it in a vessel instead of pressure cooker..with less oil and with cumin and Fenugreek seeds.. turmeric powder and salt..as this is the most healthy version of red lentil cooked in India which is a staple food in our country....

On lentils always put the salt in the end...because salt make lentils hard! And you have to cook double the time and get broken...

Thanks for sharing. You indicated chopped tomatoes but it appears to be crushed tomatoes. Can’t wait to try it

[@vladmiller5285]

Put garlic, herbs and spices to open up the flavours just before you add tomatoes or any liquid/. Don't put it in water if you want to unlock the full potential of herbs and spices. Works for any dish, not only this soup.

Oh my goodness looks gorgeous. Have many portions would this serve though? Question for all of you that have made it.

Just made this. Super easy and delicious. Thank u for posting.

[@kclaiborn6257]

Thanks! This was great. Unfortunately, I only had 4 cups of vegetable stock but to make up for the other 4, I used 2 tomato + chicken bullion cubes with 2 cups of water. We also were short on Oregano so we used Herb de Province, Thyme and Basil. We even tossed in a little Mrs. Dash Chipolte flavorings. In hindsight, should have added 3 or 4 cups of water because a lot of the stock boiled away. I would just chalk it up to needing to add more water the next time. The next day it was even more flavorful. Placed some scallions and real feta cheese from Trader Joe's on top of the soup and it was so super good! Can't wait to make it again. 👍
