A Hundred stars !! I have just eaten a bowl of this soup after walking the dogs for an hour in the cold, silent fog. Thank goodness I had made this earlier so it had time to sit and meld !! I doubled the potato as I had no pumpkin and also doubled the tomatoes as per another reviewers suggestion, also I stirred through home grown basil. Fab Fab Fab !!

This was pretty good (but check my reviews and recipes, we eat a lot of lentil soups so I'm fussy). I made this for our lunch and rather than the aromatics (celery, baby leaves parsley) and water, I used some of my home made chciken stock. I'm glad I did because I think the soup might have lacked enough flavour for us otherwise. I loved the fact it contained so many vegies,but if I made it again, I'd up the tomato (just a personal preferance). Thanks for posting.

Yummo!!! I made this today and had some for lunch and then again with the family for dinner.I added a can of chopped, peeled tomatoes rather than the fresh tomato and I used a mixture of red and yellow lentils. The chowder was rich and delicious. My youngest said that this stuff rocks and I agree!!! Thanks Bethie!!
