Does this recipe use plain brown lentils? I used the puy lentils I had, and after 6 hours, I had to put them into a dutch oven and simmer for an additional 45 minutes. Taste was okay, I added more seasoning for my mouth. I would cook on high next time. I would make again.

I thought this was a bit plain. Better with schiracha sauce added. I've have a better recipe...somewhere.

it states 6 servings so with 5 cups of broth and the juice from the tomatoes I'd say about 1 cup would be a serving

This soup is an inexpensive super easy and quick dinner! With a family on the go, this is a "go-to" meal. All ingredients are on hand pantry or fridge items and my kids 13 and 14 year old boys love it!

I enjoyed the soup. I followed the recipe exactly, and it was easy to make. I wish the recipe would provide information on serving size.
