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 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.

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.

I love lentil soup, but found this recipe a little bland. Any ideas on how to create a bolder flavor?

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.

Nutrition information?

Correction: My DH now likes it (w/o cornbread). My DD only likes it with cornbread. smh

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.

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!

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!
