This soup is the best! My mom owns a catering business and her chef makes this for the cafe. Flavorful and hearty, even has a bit of a kick to it. Serve with warm crusty bread...a great meal on a fall/winter day.

    DH gave this a big thumbs up. He loves lentil soup and thought this was outstanding. I added both of the optional ingredients and we really like the kick it gave along with the smoky taste. I prepared it on the stove top but it took about 45 minutes for them to get tender, but that could have been my stove. Thanks for posting a delicious dish.
