“Really good Beth & I'm not a lentil lover but couldn't resist making this. Only change was I used Rotel tomatoes 'cause I like some heat. I'm retired so use as lunch meals here in the frosty winter PNW. On a side note, I experimented and used the cold soup” — a cook, 5.0★
“I thought I wasn’t a tomato soup kind of person, but this has convinced me otherwise! It’s rich, complex, hearty, and filling - I feel so good after I eat it. And it’s so easy to let it do its thing on the stove - doesn’t need much babysitting at all. Yet anot” — a cook, 5.0★
