I would have cut back the cumin to half a teaspoon, but other than that, we loved it. Even better reheated the next day!

We really liked this soup. The only thing I did differently is used my own seasoned beef stock instead of store bought. I always save the juices leftover from sunday roasts, freeze it in a ziplock bag, and then thaw and use for this recipe. It makes the soup very flavorful!

This soup was incredible! I followed the directions as posted – only deviation was to add 1 small can of tomato paste and probably about 3/4lbs lentils (more the merrier!). As I was making this soup, I confess that I was very skeptical of it and didn’t know what I was getting into. However, the final addition of the vinegar made this soup just fantastic. Be sure to have some patience and let the lentils get completely cooked. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. A keeper forever!

I tried this recipe out tonight. The family thought it was okay. It wasn’t really soup though–I’m worried I didn’t add enough liquid. And if/when I make it again, I will definitely add more bacon, a tad more salt, and more seasonings in general. It was a good way to experiment lentils though. Thank you!!
