Hearty, healthy, simple, and delicious. I made it just as it is and found it to be the perfect lunch for a cold snowy day. It heats up perfectly in the microwave, too!

Sorry. This was not good. Maybe my expectations were too high because I just had a fabulous lentil soup at The Pita Inn. Even adding more salt, garlic as suggested, additional spices, it was still bland and stunk up the entire house. Thanks for posting, but this just was not for me.

This is EXCELLENT. It's on my stove right now, keeping until dinner. I've already eaten a bowl because I couldn't wait! The texture of this is nice and smooth--a bit of grain depending on how finely you process the ingredients once they've cooked. Because I can never make a recipe as is, I added about four cloves of garlic and also a few red pepper flakes (probably a teaspoon.) I also used chicken stock to replace about half of the water, although I realize that changes the vegetarian part of this recipe. THANKS for posting!

This is delicious and easy to make. I made it exactly as directed, except I halved the amount and I added some garlic. After tasting, I added some Braggs liquid aminos. A word of warning: if you reduce the amount, be sure to reduce the cooking time. The first time I tried this, I had it simmering on low, set the timer for 40 minutes, fell asleep on the couch, and woke up to the sound of the timer and the smell of burnt lentils (not pleasant). The second time around 25 minutes was sufficient. Anyway, this recipe is lovely. I will make it again.
