I've been meaning to make this recipe for a few weeks now and I finally made it tonight! We loved, loved, loved this recipe! I used leftover grilled sausage and it really added to the flavor. I did find it a little bit salty. Next time I'll reduce the salt. I forgot to add the diced tomatoes and I omitted the green peppers. My children were grateful that both items were omitted. They couldn't get enough and my very picky 4 year old is already planning to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Yummy! I love this soup. This is what I'm eating for lunch this week. I used 3 small carrots. I used dry red lentils. I used mild italian sausages. I boiled them to reduce the fat. Then I cooked them in the skillet (without any grease). I sliced them. I love lentil soups and this one is great. Thanks Charlotte. Made for Gimme 5 tag game

This was an excellent soup! I made a few changes based on people's comments: I omitted the water, as we like a thicker soup, I added 1/2 t. each curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and red pepper flakes. I garnished with fresh cilantro and it was so yummy! My husband added a bit of plain yogurt to cool it down since I also put in extra black pepper. He said the yogurt "added an extra dimension of flavor." Mmmmm! It's a keeper...

I have been looking for an easy Lentil soup that also tasted good. This recipe is it. I used ground beef instead of the sausage because that is what I had on hand. My son who is 13 hates it when I make soups because they usually are not filling enough for him but he really liked this one and got full. This soup is great!
