      I LOVE this recipe! I have been making it for a year and am just now rating it. The sherry definitely is key and gives it a wonderful flavor. Also, the parmesan added when serving is perfect with the sherry. I tend to add a bit more carrot. Great recipe!

      Awesome! I loved the flavor of the sherry! I also added a bit of garlic and a little cayenne pepper to spice it up. Thanks for sharing!

      My husband and I thought this was a delicious bowl of lentils. Pleasantly seasoned and the sherry was a nice touch. Perfect on a rainy, cold night. Thanks.

      This is a delicious soup! I did make a few changes, including:
      1 large onion instad of 2
      Double the amount of dired herbs
      Added fresh parsley at the end

      We used shredded parmesan cheese which was a nice final touch on the soup. Definitely better on day 2!

      This is fantastic! I added some potatoes, spinach and four cloves of garlic. The sherry is such a unique touch to this soup! Thanks!

      Wow, those were amazing. Mine didn't come out as soupy but I used a 15.5 oz bag of lentils and kept the proportions of the liquid the same. Very, very good. Thank you so much for sharing.

      This has become a staple in our house. Cheap and filling. I add another 3/4 cup of liquid and 1/2 cup barley to make it more hearty.

      Easy and delicious. I used French lentils and halved the recipe. When the lentils were done cooking I stuffed them in to roast acorn squash and it was satisfying and filling vegetarian meal. Will make this again.

      Amazing! If you don't have Sherry, use red wine instead...gives it a whole different taste. Have tried this dish with Sherry and red wine. Both equally as good. It's very hearty like a stew. Experiment with using additional veggies.

      Delicious! I don't have sherry- and can't imagine it getting any better- but will try to get some for next time. As usual, I had to mess with this just a bit and add some garlic and cayenne. The marjoram and thyme are perfect in this. I'm having seconds now... and don't even feel the need to top with cheese! Thanks so much!!

      Thanks for sharing! DH complains of "reduced taste" if he knows anything is diet/low fat. He went back for more on this one. You're a lifesaver! This will be a staple in my diet.

      Great basic recipe. I like to spice it up so I added 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch finely chopped ginger root and red pepper flakes. A handful of chopped cilantro topped it off. A keeper for me.

      This was very good even w/out the sherry (didn't have any). I blended 1/3 of it to smooth out the texture a bit and served it over rice.

      This was soooo good. I am a new "natural foods" eater and this made is very easy to transition.

      These lentils were so tasty. I think I could eat it as a whole meal by itself.

      Delicious! I added two carrots and one onion and used beef Better than Bullion instead of beef broth. This recipe is easy and tasty.

      I make this with beef broth and red wine. I also found that I prefer it without any cheese at all, which surprised me! Also, I didn't think it needed 1/4 cup of olive oil, so I cut that down to about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Delicious, healthy, and easy. Can't beat that!
