This soup was delish and very comforting! I left out the potato just b/c I thought the lentils would make it filling enough. Great way to get in some greens too!

this is the best soup I have ever made. Make this soup and don't be afraid to change up some of the ingredients: spinach for kale or white beans for lentils, different sausage. Use your imagination.

For a twist I toss in diced sweet potato in place of the russet. I also put in dried chilis and garlic powder. Also I use precooked turkey kielbasa cut into bite size pieces, which I place in the pot AFTER the lentils are fully cooked and the pot has been removed from the heat. Otherwise, the cooked turkey sausage will lose its smoky flavor and turn rubbery. This one's a keeper.

Absolutely wonderful! I didn't have hot sausage handy so I added a few shakes of "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun seasoning. We ate soup for two days and put the rest in the freezer but I'll be pulling it right back out to take for lunch this week. It was too good to wait too long before eating it again.

This was easy to make and very tasty. I am trying to use kale--I was not familiar with it. I know it is healthy as are the lentils. I used chicken sausage and it was great. If you want to make it even faster, Trader Joes sells kale chopped and cleaned in a bag! Great soup for cold winter nights!

Fabulous recipe! Like the member below me, I wanted something less thick so I simply added two more cups of water at the end. It worked out perfectly because I had over salted anyway. This recipe is definitely tasty enough for five stars. I hate when people underrate a recipe because they couldn't be bothered to tweak it to their specifications. All store bought ingredients vary so a cook will always need to make adjustments to make it perfect for them.

While I thought that the soup tasted great, it was way too thick. I like for soup to have broth to it. I think she should have given this recipe her "stoup" title. I will make it again but I will either increase the liquids or more likely use half the lentils suggested.

Very hearty soup! I made some modifications. I added some garlic powder and I used 2 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of beef stock. I also let the soup simmer for 1 hour and 25 minutes. I HATE under cooked lentils and I felt that they needed more time to cook. Also, I used chicken sausage and I would have added another pound (I love sausage.

Serve with crusty french bread!

This is a delicious, hearty and easy soup. It's my now Ex-boyfriend's favorite. Too bad he won't be able to enjoy it any more! Hahaha

I love lentils and this was a really tasty, satisfying lentil-based meal. I used chicken Italian sausage to reduce the fat a bit and omitted the water so there would be more "stuff" than broth. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe. Great served with oven-crisped ciabatta. Try it!
