  1. There is a lot of flavor packed into a bowl with this soup! I didn't add any salt because I did use some bouillon. For the cabbage I used coleslaw mix that was beginning to age in the fridge! It worked well and I also added some garlic just because I wanted to. This was actually done in about 45 mins and the lentils were breaking down. If your a soup fan, don't miss this one. Made for Photo Tag.
     
  2. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag game and yummo! I did add some garlic and beef bouillon cubes but otherwise followed the instructions. Definately a keeper. Thank you for such a tasty recipe.
     
  3. Yummy! I added a lot more water cause it was thick a lot and it's still thick. I'm glad I added water. I used beef bouillon cubes to give it more taste. I used green lentils, 2 1/2 cup cabbage, baby carrots, a red bell pepper. And at the end, I decided to omit the spinach cause it was too thick already. I love it like that. Thanks Lorrie. Made for Holiday tag
     
  4. I used leftover roast beef & 1 cup of soup dried beans (had them in house). As stated by a previous reviewer this soup has a lot of flavour. I plan on making this again. Thank you Lorrie Montreal!
