I'm so sorry, I really didn't care for this at all. I did use green lentils and turkey broth, so I'm not sure if that made a difference or not. I cut the chardonnay to 1/2 cup and I found it way TOO strong for the soup. I had to cook it for an extra half hour to cook off some of the wine. I also think the dill/rosemary/lemon combo was a bit strange. Thank you for posting, I just don't think this was a good match to our taste buds.Reply

We really enjoyed this soup and were surprised it didn't need any spices. The lemon and wine really carried it. I did adjust the amounts a bit, using less oil, lentils, broth and wine and more vegetables and dill. I also added garlic, decreased the cooking time, and cooked the wine into it a little bit. It has a nice flavor.1Reply
