"Delicious! Surprisingly flavorful and easy. I made two substitutions since I was working from what was in the house, and it came out beautifully: I used split peas (with appropriate alterations to soaking/cooking) instead of lentils, and a can of tomato sauce instead of the tomato paste. Otherwise I followed as directed, and the results are fantastic!" - ErrantdreamsYield: 4 Ready in 45 minutes

Inexpensive, delicious and filling soup. Tonight I am pairing this with Greek Salad 3 and Hummous with Pita Bread for a springtime Greek meal.

Don't add the spinach and simmer for 20 minutes! Wait until the end to add the spinach. It only needs to 'cook' for 30 seconds or a minute until it turns bright green.

This recipe is fantastic if you saute' in some olive oil , dice carrot, onion and celery then cook as directed. Success!

I didn't have time to soak the lentils so I just cooked everything together with 1 cup or more of added broth and more of the tomato paste.

I made this with precooked leftover lentils and it still came out yummy!

Delicious! I lost my old Betty Crocker lentil soup recipe from the '70's, and found this one, and it's much more pleasing to my now more sophisticated and Indian-appreciative palate. Highly recommended.

Mmm. Used chicken stock instead of water, threw in a pkg of (6) hot italian sausages when the lentils first cooked, then skinned them, diced them small, and re-added them at the end. Mmm.

My wife wasn't too sure about this one. After a taste she was happy I made it. Even when I missed the coriander, it was very good!!

I am not a fan of either lentils or spinach and I didn't expect much from this recipe, but it was surprisingly good.
