If I could give this 18 stars I would. This is my go-to lentil soup recipe for the past 4 years. I am so shocked that it's only gotten 10 ratings and 4 stars. It is SO amazing! I make it for friends all the time who happily request it as well. I'm going to make a big pot of it right now with all this dreary NE weather outside...

I actually followed the recipe! Had all the ingredients on hand. I did have to substitute russet potatoes for the red but that was no big. Love the feta and mint with the lentils. A dollop of yogurt on top might pretty it up a bit.
