Did all 3 extra's, would like it to have a richer, deeper flavor.

I've never cooked lentils before. I added all the "extras"; turkey sausage, kale and garam masala. I don't think I would like it without these. I only used 1/4 teaspoon of garam masala. It's not my favorite spice combo but a little added a lot to this soup.

This was very easy and very good, coming from someone who doesn't typically like lentils. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the lentils definitely need more time to cook (5-10 minutes longer) than the recipe states. Otherwise it was great!

My family and myself found this soup hearty and fulfilling in these cold nights

Easy quick recipe. I used tomato paste with herbs and diced tomatoes with peppers and garlic for a little added zip. My very picky teenagers loved it!!!!!

I have a household of picky meat-n-potato eaters, and I thought this might be a nice change of pace. I liked it, but found it too sweet as is. Definitely give it a kick with some of the suggestions! For myself, I'd probably try it again, but nobody in my family would even try it, and it really needed a LOT more time to cook than the recipe states.

Easy delicious soup. I added 1c cooked tomatoes, 3 celery ribs, 1/4c yellow peppers, Hillshire sausage (a quarter of a length) and additional salt. Will make again, but use vegetalbe broth, more salt, fresh garlic & omit sugar. Great for winter!

I just finished making and eating this. I did omit the dill week and tarragon because I didn't have any. It was pretty good for just being beans and vegetables. Next time I might add some ground turkey.

I made this soup for dinner today..It was excellent.....very tasty. I used chicken stock instead of water and omitted the dill weed. Will be making this quick soup again. Thanks for a great recipe.
