Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 06/11/2020 This is a really tasty soup! I followed the directions exactly, except I forgot the vinegar. I was a little worried, because so many reviewers said it didn't have flavor, but I disagree and will definitely make it again. Picky eater-husband approved recipe. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4.0 stars 11/25/2019 This is a great starter recipe that can easily be made a lot better. I added a peeled a cubed potato, a few shakes of worcestershire, turmeric, oregano and marjoram. Stir in a few handfuls of kale and some fresh parsley. Perfect. I used Trader Joe's pre-cooked lentils to make this even easier. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/19/2019 I followed all the directions and added a tablespoon of tomato paste, as someone here recommended. I think it helped quite a bit. Delicious! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 02/08/2019 I had read other reviews that said it was a little bland so I added a bay leaf and some oregano. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 02/10/2018 I loved that this soup was so quick and easy. It's a snowy Saturday, and I was enjoying a good book, wanted a bowl of soup, but didn't want to undertake a major project. This was perfect. I used a frozen Mirepoix mix for my veggies, added a bit of tomato paste, thyme and Old Bay seasoning, and tossed a handful of fresh spinach in at the end. Yum! Thanks, Martha! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/17/2016 Martha Stewart must be getting a kickback from organic food cult. I made this with all non-organic vegetables. It was very tasty and a lot cheaper. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/28/2015 I plan on trying this tonight. I'm allergic to celery and onion so I will need to omit that, but I can get away with a pinch of onion powder maybe for the taste without dire consequences I think. For those that can't find canned lentils: I haven't ever seen canned lentils either, but Trader Joes has a package of cooked french lentils that comes inside a plastic pouch. They're really good lentils. I've had them in salads. I'm going to try them in this soup. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/28/2013 I love lentil soup, but found this recipe a little bland. Any ideas on how to create a bolder flavor? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 01/24/2013 Loved this! I used lemon juice instead of the vinegar because I had lentil soup at a restaurant that used lemon and I liked the taste. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/16/2012 Nutrition information? Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 01/02/2012 Correction: My DH now likes it (w/o cornbread). My DD only likes it with cornbread. smh Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 01/02/2012 I enjoyed this soup that I served with cornbread (my DH said that it was OK, and my 5 year old didn't like it). I pre-cooked dried lentils instead of using canned (less sodium). I also tripled the recipe for 3 people. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/05/2011 Just made this for lunch. Also quickly cooked up some dry lentils instead of using canned. Substituted vegetable broth. Added a handful of chopped fresh parsley to my bowl at the end. It was FANTASTIC! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/21/2010 This soup is AMAZING! I wasn't able to find canned lentils, so I bought dried lentils and pre-cooked them before I put them in the soup. It still only took thirty minutes. I really like the red wine vinegar! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/13/2010 I loved this soup! It's the healthiest, quickest, and most nutritious soup I have made! Thank you Martha for yet another delicious recipe! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/19/2009 This was quite tasty.
