  1. We really enjoyed this soup and were surprised it didn't need any spices. The lemon and wine really carried it. I did adjust the amounts a bit, using less oil, lentils, broth and wine and more vegetables and dill. I also added garlic, decreased the cooking time, and cooked the wine into it a little bit. It has a nice flavor.
     
  2. I'm so sorry, I really didn't care for this at all. I did use green lentils and turkey broth, so I'm not sure if that made a difference or not. I cut the chardonnay to 1/2 cup and I found it way TOO strong for the soup. I had to cook it for an extra half hour to cook off some of the wine. I also think the dill/rosemary/lemon combo was a bit strange. Thank you for posting, I just don't think this was a good match to our taste buds.
     
  3. Loved this soup!!!
     
  4. We enjoyed this very much, a fresh and flavourful soup that took little preparation. I used Recipe #355212, which I had made previously and frozen. Otherwise I made as directed, and this made a lovely supper, served with Recipe #342483. Made for Aus/NZ swap#29, thank you, Tracey Mae!
     
  5. I have made this for dinner and the verdict from my early sampling is that it is great. I used green lentils and used mushrooms instead of carrots and vegetable stock - when I serve it I may top it with pesto - thanks for a great dinner for tonight TraceyMae

<p>I love to cook. I love trying new recipes, especially when there is a picture. And I really enjoy reading cookbooks. <br /><br />As a child, I wasn't very good at cooking and always wanted to follow the recipe exactly. That way, if it didn't turn out right, I could blame the recipe! <br /><br />Over time, I have become more experimental. Brave even! <br /><br />I have three children: Shannon is 28, Casey is 26 and Joshua is 19. My DH Jack cheers me on when I try something new. He is my best friend and partner. I am a new grandmother, my grandson's name is Jayce and he's a delight! Plus, I'm going to be a grandmother again - with a granddaughter.<br /><br /><a href=http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/?action=view?t=100_2166.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/100_2166.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><a href=http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/?action=view?t=100_1401-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/100_1401-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />My favorite cookbook is The Dessert Lover's Cookbook. Beautiful pictures, easy instructions. <br /><br />I was born in New Jersey and have lived in Hawaii, Australia, Chicago, Iran, Florida and now living happily in sunny California.</p>
