I just made this and my 3-year old shoveled it in, gushing – “This soup is so very good, mama! I love the lentils, and I just really love the carrots.” I’m not a celery fan, so I left that out and upped the carrots and onion. I also added fresh mint at the end. YUM. This will definitely be in our recipe rotation as the weather cools. Thanks, Sayward!

Made this soup this afternoon & loved it! I also took your advice & enjoyed it with some crusty bread, but didn’t have the same authentic experience with a cracked mug. Thanks for sharing this!

The great receipe, I have to cook it for my husband – a big lover of lentils. Have you ever tried turkish red lentil Soup? For this dish you need water, red lentil, tomatoes and dry mint. Very tasty :)

@ Natasja – I used dried lentils, but I think you could use canned. I’ve never worked with canned but I’d assume they would be fine. You’d probably need to cook them for less time. Luck!

Hi – do you use dried lentils for this recipe (I could only find canned ones?) and do you need to soak them beforehand?
I am such an amateur :P

@ Kate – I still use and love that mug! It’s the first one I ever bought when I moved out on my own a looooong time ago, ha! And we miss you too!!!

@ Sandra – It is!

@ Homegrown Texan – It’s the little things that make the meal, no? =)

@ Richard – I always use old veggies that I wouldn’t be able to use up fresh (when I get caught with overstock), so it doesn’t feel like a waste. I compost the veggie mush when I’m done.

Sautéing is important because it adds fat, which gives the broth that extra richness and depth.

@ Marcus – Fixed! Thanks!

@ Julie – Really? That’s awesome that they’re giving out lentils. I should totally submit my recipe! I’ll look into it, thanks lady.

@ Salekdarling – Did you make it? How did it go??
