A great soup. My daughter is a salt-free vegetarian, but all I had to do was use a low-sodium hot sauce and leave out the salt, and it still had lots of great flavors. I substituted a can of salt-free fire roasted tomatoes which gave it a nice smokey taste, and the heat made up for the lack of salt. She loved it. This is definitely a keeper.

We are finally getting much needed rain in our part of the world, and this soup sounds perfect for being cozy in this weather. I have lots of chicken stock in my freezer that I’ll substitute for the veg stock.

Andrea this soup looks sooo delicious! I just posted a red lentil soup, but that is just a recipe as old as me from back home. Urs has lovely colors.

Lentils are a favorite with me, but I don’t find the red very often. This looks like it would be really bright and colorful.

This sounds so delicious. I’m loving the idea of cumin and tumeric in it. I like lentils, too, but haven’t chosen the best recipes in the past. This one sounds really nice. I’ll let you know when I make it. I have red, green, and black lentils in the pantry….

I recently found a jar of red lentils hiding in the back of my pantry, and have been thinking of what to make with them. This soup hits all of the flavor points I’d been toying with, though of course, as I wouldn’t be making it for kids, I’d probably up the heat a bit!
