Oh, my, can I give it six stars. I love lentil soup and collect every recipe I see. Some are just ok and some are like this one, way up at the top of the outstanding list. I didn't even follow all the directions. Left out the sausage and leeks because I didn't have them on hand and used a 14 oz can of crushed tomatoes because that was what I had in the house. So tasty on a rainy damp night.This will be my new favorite lentil soup. So glad you posted it.
