This is a wonderfully flavored soup that our whole family really enjoyed. I'm a huge fan of traditional Turkish Red Lentil soup which has more exotic flavors, but I was impressed by the down home goodness of this soup. I had three medium sized helpings, and even then I nibbled a bit more as I was putting the remainder into the tupperware. We doubled the recipe, so I can go to sleep now knowing it will taste even better tomorrow when I reheat it!

    This was fantastic! I had some today (day after making) for the first time as I was out to dinner last night with friends, and it was amazingly flavorful. If you like lentil soup, this is a must try!

          I made this last week and it was really good. As we were talking over dinner, my husband stopped in mid-sentence and commented on how much he liked the soup! I wouldn't hesitate to serve this to company with a nice crusty bread.

              I love soups, especially with legumes, beans etc. I had never used lentils up until a couple of years ago, until I bought a bean mix that had lentils. Now they are a staple in my kitchen. I am going to make a double batch of this and freeze some!
