Wonderful stuff on a wintery day! I added about 1/4 tsp of ground cumin as well. Recommended!

Simply delicious. Everything comes together beautifully to create a richly flavored and healthy soup. The late addition of lemon juice add a vibrant touch that is not to be missed. I didn't have fresh parsley or cilantro and had to use dried but it still turned out great. Thanks Kumquat for a high fiber, low fat and oh so tasty meal. This is a recipe that I'll absolutely use again

Hearty stuff! I used crushed chili instead of pepper sauce and canned lentils to reduce the total cooking time. I tasted it & thought it was lacking something, then i read The other reviews & followed chefDYC's advice and added ground cumin aswell as a couple of dashes of paprika.... Beautiful!!

Yummy stew! I followed a previous reviewer's suggestion to add paprika and cumin. I made half a recipe, and just used the full can of beans and tomatoes, since that was more convenient. To counter balance that, I increased the celery (to 2 ribs) and the pasta (to 3/4 cup). I also used olive oil and skipped the flour part. Delicious!

This was a great soup. I only made a few small modifications. I didn't have fresh parsley or cilantro; I used dried parsley instead. Fresh would have been better but not crucial. I didn't have any pasta so I used rice, worked quite well. I omitted the saffron, not sure if it would have been better. I also added 1/2t of cumin. This was a great recipe and I think that it would have been great just as written too.

Mmm, so good. I also added the cumin and paprika. Didn't have any fresh cilantro or parsley either and I agree with Rose M- would have been better, but it was fine without. To save time I did all of the chopping and as much prep. stuff as I could the night before and it came together in about 45 min. The only thing was that there wasn't much pasta in comparison. I would add about twice as much next time- just my opinion. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

This stew was very delicious. I added some bite-size pieces of beef to the soup & left out the celery. I just realized that I also left out the vermicelli but I am sure it would have been better with it. I will have to make it again just to make sure. Thanks Kumquat
