This is one of the best soups I have ever had! And I love that it's Vegan and I can make it for my friends.

Very good recipe; very different flavors that worked out really well, and it was a good use of lentils. However, I found the soup wayyy too sweet; I will definitely use less brown sugar next time.

I made this soup per the original recipe (unlike so many others who rated it). I would make it again with changes: chicken or beef broth instead of water, fresh garlic, no brown sugar (too sweet), maybe some rotel (tomatoes and peppers) instead of the tomato paste. There just wasn't a satisfying depth of flavor in the original recipe.

Quick & Easy - Loved It! I sauteed the onion in olive oil first (don't like crunchy onions in soup). Used Buckwheat grouts instead of lentils (cut simmering time back to about 15 min as buckwheat doesn't take as long to cook). I added a jar of canned tomatoes and 1tbsp of dried red peppers (from Epicure) and 3 cups chopped kale during the last 5 minutes of simmering. YUM-O!

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
