YUMMY!!!!!! I made this as the weather here is 90+ degrees. The soup had great flavor and is quick and easy as well. Soup is better the next day and the next and the next. Make this soup you wont be disappointed. Love the Tabasco chipotle has a great kick that catches the back of the throat, but not too much. THANK YOU!!

This is amazing. I used the black buluga lentils and they don't break down like other lentils so I used mashed potato flakes to thicken it. My family loved this!!! I added smoked sausage to appease my meat lovers.

Love the flavor of this soup! This is one of the better lentil soups I've ever made. It has the added bonus of being quite quick and easy to make. Thank you so much, EdsGirl.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed a lentil dish as much as this one! This was a great soup. I did change one thing since I didn't have Baco's. I just cooked up about a half a pound of sliced bacon with the onions and garlic, then followed the rest of the directions exactly and this dish came out so good. I personally like things spicy so if it was just for me (not the rest of the family) I'd double the amount of Tabasco, other than that, it's perfect. Thanks so much for a great new soup which I'll be making again.
