Great Soup!!!! I made this on the stove top and it was really tasty!!I did have to add a little more water to the soup as it simmered,and I also added a few splashes of tamari for a little depth of flavor.This will be made often at my house!!Thank You Sharon123!

Very tasty! We didn't add the cream of mushroom soup, but used some extra mushrooms and a little almond milk to make it creamy. We also didn't make this in the crock pot. Instead, we made it on the stove top so we could enjoy it sooner. It was great with some crispy french bread!

Excellent! Even my husband who hates soup (calls soup 'too wet' and it 'has too many ingredients mixed together') loved it. If this recipe can make my husband go back for seconds, then it is definitely a winner! Super easy and super cheap to make! We served it in bread bowls with a little bit of provolone cheese melted on top, and it was restaurant quality!

A good winter soup. Make it with #39369 for the cream of mushroom and it is even better. I used the green lentils. Next time I will try the red ones as they break down more. I used the AUTO setting on the crockpot [1 hour high followed by low] which worked well - cooked for about 5 hours.

This soup was fantastic !!! I too did it on the stove top because it was too late for a crock pot. So I simmered it for about an hour and stirring in between. For the veggie bouillon mine was as a paste so I blended it in about 1 1/2 cups of boiled water and added that. Plus I had about 1 cup of leftover seasoned pork so I cut that up into pieces and threw it in and it added a nice flavor from the seasonings that were on the pork. Delicious flavor and great consistency, worked out perfect. We all enjoyed this at lunch. Made it with Recipe #430383 and it was yummy and so filling. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe Sharon. Made in honor of your DH.
