This lemony lentil soup is a very flavorful dish that seems to improve with each left-over serving. The lemons are a great complement to the lentils. The soup freezes well.
"I agree that this is a very good soup, but would recommend using only one lemon rather than two. Or as an alternative, add a package of frozen spinach to the mix, which also has the benefit of taming the lemon taste and making it even healthier." - danlinkeYield: 8 Ready in 1 hours

Notes
My sister (Elizabeth) added chopped bits of chicken sausage. I added spicy Italian sausage and omitted the cheese. This is a very flexible recipe and as long as the lemon components are included it is still delicious no matter how it is seasoned

Easy and delicious. I add spinach or some other green at the end when I have them, in order to get my veggies in.

Thank you to the reviewers who prefer less lemon. This was excellent with just one lemon, zest & juice. I replaced 14 ounces of the chicken stock with a can of diced tomatoes. It is great to have a great tasting dish that is healthy

Delicious! My new favorite lentil recipe.

Easily the best lentil soup I've had, even missing some of the spices and the cheese. The lemon gives such a nice flavor. Really easy, too.

Very good, bright lentil soup. Loved the tang that the lemon and feta brought to the party. Great for winter or early spring.

I wouldn't change a thing! Very yummy. I plan to always have some on hand in the freezer.

I enjoyed the way this soup turned out very much. I omitted the feta cheese, and for spices just used what I had: rosemary and oregano. Still tasted great!

Have made this a couple times. Great for a garlic lover!

Suprisingly, a hit with everyone everytime!!

The whole family enjoyed this though thought it was a bit heavy on the lemon. We didn't have any left for freezing. Yum!

My family is trying to eat less meat and this meal was fulfilling and tasty. I have made it several times now and will make it several times a month.

This medal is for Lemony Lentil Soup. As they say, 'you eat with your eyes first.' This looks and sounds great. I am looking forward to trying this on this cold and rainy day. [I made edits to this recipe.]
