  1. This is quick to make for a lovely homemade soup. It's thick and hearty and the ideal thing for a cold gray Fall day. I used veggie broth and red lentils. The red ones are so small that they just cooked away into the soup. I didn't have any tomato to add but to be honest I liked this so well that I don't think I'll add them next time. All around it's a winner, healthy, hearty and yummy!
     
  2. Delicious! This is now my favorite soup, and I love soup! I followed the recipe exactly, except I left out the celery since I didn't have any. Next time I will be sure that I have some! This was so easy to make with such delicious results. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
     
  3. Excellent dish! Very thick and hearty and perfect to eat with homemade beer bread in front of the fire. I added 10 oz ground turkey scrambled with fennel seed and Italian seasonings (husband likes meat in soup) and omitted the tomatoes. Sometimes we add a bit more broth to make it more soup-y for more often leave it as is.

I live in Seattle and play co-rec soccer twice a week year-round with my fantastic husband and many soccer friends. I grew up in the midwest and think I got hooked on baking when I won a blue ribbon for my brownies in a 4H fair around the age of 10. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
