I made this today but I made a few changes. My family is not a huge fan of cooked carrots. So I halved the carrots and added potatoes. I also had no thyme so I used basil instead which was nice with the tomato. I did add more salt and pepper than the recipe calls for but when my husband mentioned that the soup was missing something he first thought of beef. I haven’t exactly made a roast recently to come up with that magical missing ingredient but I did think Worcestershire sauce would add a nice flavor so I added aprox. 2 T. This was a nice touch and somewhat reminded me of a vegetarian hash/soup. Thank you yumm

I just pulled up my bookmark for this recipe and realized that I haven’t commented yet about how delicious it is! It’s become one of our staples. I finally copied down the recipe today so I don’t need to refer to my laptop while cooking. Thanks!!!

Our weather, here in CA, is just starting to turn to fall. I think your lentil soup is the first recipe I have ever drooled over. We just finished dinner 1/2 hour ago!

Thank you for your beautiful blog. Breath of fresh air after a long day!

Yummy. I’ll eat lentil soup anytime. Maybe just not warm it up so much if it’s hot outside. In fact, it sounds perfect for breakfast right now! I make a similar soup that includes eggplant as well. Found you through tastespotting – great photos you have here!

@Erin You, know? I think it will last that long. I think I once got really lentil souped out and let the soup go in the freezer for about 8 months, and it was fine. We have one of those freezers that frosts over, though, which I hear is better for the freshness of the food. Most freezers are frost free, and if you use that kind, then try to eat the soup within 6 months.

Yummy! We are having some rainy, cooler spring days this week, so this should go great on our menu! Thanks for sharing!

This looks amazing! It’s tough to find good hearty meals that my non-vegetarian boyfriend will love, but with this, I think I’ve found a winner.
Question: How long do you think it will last in the freezer? (If I make it in August when I’m not super busy, and assuming I don’t eat it all, should the freezer keep it through December (the end of final exams?))
Thanks for this great recipe!
