This was the most amazing soup ever! My husband and I could not get enough of it! Rachel should have a cookbook with just soups, stews and stoups!

This was really good and I didn't even have all the ingredients! I took the advice of another reviewer to experiment with white beans and used garbanzo beans...it came out good, but I definitely will use lentils next time. I also didn't have celery, cumin, nutmeg or any peppers. I used curry powder, red pepper flakes and tossed in whole grape tomatoes. I think my white wine choice was too fruity. I served it with french bread and cheddar cheese slices on the side. Yum!

This is now a FAVORITE in my household! Everyone that tries it always wants the recipe! We like spicy food so I always up the spice. I also used sweet potatoes and you definitely need probably double to chicken broth. Even better leftover!

This recipe is very forgiving and reliably good. It has made it into our permanent rotation and is my favorite way to sneak in some kale. I usually end up tweaking things here and there (like using jalapenos instead of the hollands and it always turns out delicious. I'm also a little heavy handed on the veggie portions to end up with a little extra soup. Leftovers are just as good as the original. Highly recommend.

Loved this soup! I needed to add a little bit more water, and I think I'll use sweet or mild sausage next time, to allow more of the other complex flavors to shine. But all in all, my husband and I are stuffed, as we couldn't help but have seconds!

This is very good, but I sure had to add a LOT more liquid. I only used 1 1/2 c. lentils, but it got thick so fast, before the lentils were done. I didn't have any more chicken stock, so I used beef. Added another whole box, and twenty minutes later it was thick again, so I added about another 3 cups of beef broth. Loved the fresh rosemary and nutmeg in this, as well as the cumin. I used Iserno's hot Italian sausage instead of a pork Italian. Can't go wrong with lentils, sausage and kale, imho!

YUMMO!!! It was so tasty and very easy to make. I did omit some items but would never know as it was so flavorful.

Very tasty! I had to substitute a few things, though. White wine with diluted white wine vinegar, a jalepeno for the recommended pepper and had to add more liquid. Im not sure what size a 'bunch' of kale is, I used the bunch from the farmer's market, which Im sure is larger than a store bought bunch. Glad to use it for something other than juice! Will make again, thanks for the recipe! Only 4 stars, I think the process for the recipe needs to be spelled out better for beginner soupers.

I made this recipe with a few minor substitutions, most notably with using a sweet potato instead of a russet, with great results. This is probably the best lentil soup I have ever had!
